Multisystem Proteinopathy Mutations in VCP/p97 Increase NPLOC4·UFD1L Binding and Substrate Processing.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97 is an essential ATP-dependent protein unfoldase. Dominant mutations in p97 cause multisystem proteinopathy (MSP), a disease affecting the brain, muscle, and bone. Despite the identification of numerous pathways that are perturbed in MSP, the molecular-level defects of these p97 mutants are not completely understood. Here, we use biochemistry and cryoelectron microscopy to explore the effects of MSP mutations on the unfoldase activity of p97 in complex with its substrate adaptor NPLOC4⋅UFD1L (UN). We show that all seven analyzed MSP mutants unfold substrates faster. Mutant homo- and heterohexamers exhibit tighter UN binding and faster substrate processing. Our structural studies suggest that the increased UN affinity originates from a decoupling of p97's nucleotide state and the positioning of its N-terminal domains. Together, our data support a gain-of-function model for p97-UN-dependent processes in MSP and underscore the importance of N-terminal domain movements for adaptor recruitment and substrate processing by p97.
