Evaluating p97 Inhibitor Analogues for Potency against p97-p37 and p97-Npl4-Ufd1 Complexes.

ABSTRACT: We previously found that the p97 cofactor, p47, significantly decreased the potency of some ATP-competitive p97 inhibitors such as ML240 [2-(2-amino-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-N-benzyl-8-methoxyquinazolin-4-amine] and ML241 [2-(2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-4(3H)-yl)-N-benzyl-5,6,7,8 tetrahydroquinazolin-4-amine]. In this study, we aimed to evaluate inhibitor potencies against two additional p97 cofactor complexes, p97-p37 and p97-Npl4-Ufd1. We focused on these two cofactor complexes, because the protein sequence of p37 is 50 % identical to that of p47, and the Npl4-Ufd1 heterodimer (NU) is the most-studied p97 cofactor complex. We screened 200 p97 inhibitor analogues for their ability to inhibit the ATPase activity of p97 alone and of p97-p37 and p97-NU complexes. In contrast to the effect of p47
