Structural basis for recognition and methylation of p97 by METTL21D, a valosin-containing protein lysine methyltransferase.

p97 is a human AAA+ (ATPase associated with diverse cellular activities, also known as valosin-containing protein [VCP]) ATPase, which is involved in diverse cellular processes such as membrane fusion and proteolysis. Lysine-specific methyltransferase of p97 (METTL21D) was identified as a class I methyltransferase that catalyzes the trimethylation of Lys315 of p97, a so-called VCP lysine methyltransferase (VCPKMT). Interestingly, VCPKMT disassembles a single hexamer ring consisting of p97-D1 domain and methylates Lys315 residue.
