R93CN domainIBMPFDImpaired degradation of ERAD substrates (e.g., CFTR, tyrosinase) [55, 56]; restored the growth of yeast cdc48 mutant at 37°C [57].

R95G N domainIBMPFD Increased bindings to Ufd1, Npl4, p47, Ataxin 3, and ubiquitylated substrates; reduced bindings to Ufd2, CAV1, and UBXD1; little effects on the bindings to Hrd1, Png1 [5860]; altered response to nucleotide-triggered conformation change of the N domain [61, 62]; enhanced ATPase activity and polyQ aggregation; compromised degradation of the myosin chaperone UNC-45 and ERAD substrates [63, 64]; impaired proteasome activity; accumulation of ubiquitin conjugates and TDP-43; induced cell death [6, 63, 64].

P137L N domainIBMPFD Abolished bindings to Ufd1, Npl4, and p47, but still bind gp78 [60]; reduced solubility and altered cellular localization; impaired ERAD [60, 64].
