Structure of VAT, a CDC48/p97 ATPase homologue from the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum as studied by electron tomography

Abstract
Valosine‐containing protein‐like ATPase from Thermoplasma acidophilum is a member of the superfamily of ATPases associated with a diversity of cellular activities and is closely related to CDC48 from yeast and p97 from higher eukaryotes and more distantly to N‐ethylmaleimide‐sensitive fusion protein. We have used electron tomography to obtain low‐resolution (2–2.5 nm) three‐dimensional maps of both the whole 500 kDa complex and the N‐terminally truncated valosine‐containing protein‐like ATPase from T. acidophilum complex lacking the putative substrate binding domain.
