Sixty to eighty percent of wild type CFfR is degraded, and the most common mutation, deletion of F508, leads to essentially complete degradation by the proteasome. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the degradation pathway would provide useful information for developing therapeutics. To identify components in CFfR degradation, two compartments were examined: membrane-localized components and cytosolic components. Inactivation of membrane proteins had no effect on CFfR degradation suggesting that either membrane proteins were not sensitive to treatment or that cytosolic proteins with redundant functions exist. In contrast, affinity depletion of rabbit reticulocyte lysate (RRL) using nonhydrolyzable ubiquitin fusion proteins containing E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes (Ub-UbcHSa (uu5) and Ub-Ubc6 (uu6)) decreased CFfR degradation significantly. Adsorbed proteins eluted from uu5 beads were identified by liquid chromatography­ tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS), and the most abundant protein identified was the AAA-ATPase, p97. Adaptor proteins mediate the diverse functions of p97, which range from membrane fusion to degradation. The heterodimer ufdllnpl4 binds ubiquitinated substrates and directs p97 to the degradation pathway where p97 has been proposed to segregate components of protein complexes, provide the driving force for dislocation and serve as an intermediary in presenting substrates to the proteasome. Given its proposed role in ERAD, p97 was chosen for further characterization in CFfR degradation. Depletion of RRL p97 resulted in a 50% reduction in both the rate and extent of CFfR degradation. However, p97 depletion had no effect on the degradation of v cytosolic domains but specifically stimulated degradation of transmembrane domains (TMDs). Moreover, the stimulatory effect was dependent on TMD hydrophobicity and stability. This effect was also correlated with the rate of degradation, suggesting that p97 functions as an accessory factor to the proteasome and enhances the rate and efficiency of thermodynamically stable
