Mutations at codon 470 enhance VCP activity and attenuate VCP inhibitors function. (a) Time-dependent experiment with wild-type (WT) VCP/p97 and two E470 mutants to determine their specific ATPase activities. Specific ATPase activity of VCP proteins presented in the figure was measured in nmol/min/nmol. (b–d) Titration curves of CB-5083, NMS-873 and ML240 for WT, E470K and E470D VCP proteins. IC50 (μM) was calculated using GraphPad Prism with the equation [log(agonist) versus response−Variable slope (four parameters)].
