Experimental details: Western blot was performed using Anti-VCP Polyclonal Antibody (Product # MA3-004) and a 89 kDa band corresponding to VCP was observed in across all tested cell lines and tissues. Whole cell extracts (30 µg lysate) of MCF-7 (Lane 1), MDA-MB-231 (Lane 2), SK-OV-3 (Lane 3), HCT-116 (Lane 4), PC-3 (Lane 5), A549 (Lane 6), HeLa (Lane 7), Mouse brain (Lane 8), Rat brain (Lane 9), Mouse Kidney (Lane 10) were electrophoresed using NuPAGE® 4-12 % Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0321BOX). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Product # IB23001) by iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The blot was probed with the primary antibody (1:1000 dilution) and detected by chemiluminescence with Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L), Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, HRP (Product # A28177, 1:4000 dilution) using the iBright FL 1000 (Product # A32752). Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Novex® ECL Chemiluminescent Substrate Reagent Kit (Product # WP20005)..

Experimental details: Knockdown of VCP was achieved by transfecting MCF-7 with VCP specific siRNAs (Silencer® select Product # s14765). Western blot analysis (Fig. a) was performed using whole cell extracts from the VCP knockdown cells (Lane 3), non-specific scrambled siRNA transfected cells (Lane 2) and untransfected cells (Lane 1). The blot was probed with VCP Polyclonal Antibody (Product # MA3-004, 1:1000 dilution) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, HRP (Product # A28177, 1:4000 dilution). Densitometric analysis of this western blot is shown in histogram (Fig. b). Loss of signal upon siRNA mediated knock down confirms that antibody is specific to VCP.

Experimental details: Immunohistochemistry was performed on normal deparaffinized Human brain tissue tissues. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1:1000 with a mouse monoclonal antibody recognizing Anti-VCP (Product # MA3-004) or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP, followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.

Experimental details: Figure 5 UBXD1 recruits p97 to mitochondria under mitophagic conditions. ( A ) HeLa cells transfected with expression plasmids for FLAG-UBXD1 and mitoYFP-T2A-Parkin-myc3 were treated with CCCP for 6 hours or left untreated as control. Cells were fixed, stained using rabbit anti-FLAG and mouse anti-p97 antibodies and analyzed by confocal microscopy. ( B ) HeLa cells transfected with expression plasmids for FLAG-UBXD1 or vector control and mitoYFP-T2A-Parkin-myc3 were treated as in A. To quantify p97 redistribution to mitochondria, the ratio of mitochondrial p97 to total p97 was determined by image analysis of confocal images. Shown are box plots of three independent experiments with at least 15 cells per experiment and condition. Statistical significance was assessed by ANOVA followed by Student's t-test using Bonferroni correction to account for multiple comparisons. ***Denotes p-values < 0.001.

Experimental details: Figure 4 p97 knockdown suppresses HCoV replication in H1299 cells. H1299 cells with inducible control shRNA (Ctrl shRNA) or p97 shRNA were inoculated with Dox (0.5 mug/mL) for 72 h. Cells were infected with HCoV-229E (MOI 0.05) or HCoV-OC43 (MOI 0.01). After 1 h of infection, cells were washed and harvested at 0, 4, 8, or 24 hpi. Mock-infected cells were harvested at 24 hpi. ( A ) Quantification of viral RNA in cell lysates over time after infection. Data shows viral RNA levels relative to GAPDH. ( B ) Representative western blot images showing the expression of p97, viral N protein, and GAPDH (loading control) in cell lysates across the infection time course. Full-length blots can be found in Supplementary Figure S8 . ( C ) Viral titer in culture media collected from HCoV-infected cells at 24 hpi was quantified by determining TCID 50 in H1299 cells. Error bars represent SD ( n = 3). Statistical analysis was conducted with two-way ANOVA for Figure 4 A and Student's t test for Figure 4 C: *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ****, p < 0.0001.

Experimental details: Figure 5. Mitochondrial recruitment of VCP is not influenced by ectopic UBXN1 expression. (A) HeLa cells transfected with expression plasmid for FLAG-UBXN1 or control vector and mitoYFP-T2A-MYC-PRKN , treated with 25 uM CCCP for 90, 180, 360 min or left untreated, were fixed, stained using rabbit anti-FLAG and mouse anti-VCP antibodies and imaged by confocal microscopy. Shown are representative images from three independent experiments after 90 min of CCCP treatment. Scale bar: 20 um. (B) Mitochondrial translocation of VCP was quantified using line drawings across mitochondria. The plot presents the mean Pearson's correlation of 73 to 137 cells from three independent experiments. Statistical significance was tested using unbalanced one-way ANOVA.

Experimental details: Figure EV3 Parkin knockout mitigates the accumulation of mitophagy adaptors in G93A mitochondria at disease end stage A, B Representative Western blots of p62 (A), OPTN, and VCP (B) in spinal cord mitochondria from end-stage mice. C p62 quantification, using Complex V as normalizer, shows a strong accumulation of p62 in SOD1-G93A mitochondria at end stage. Results are expressed as mean +- SEM and as percent of Non Tg; n = 8 (four males and four females) mice per group. No statistically significant differences were found between G93A and PKO/G93A ( P = 0.078 by paired Wilcoxon's test); *** P = 0.0007 (Non Tg vs. G93A) and * P = 0.037 (PKO and PKO/G93A) both by paired Friedman's test with Dunn's correction.

Experimental details: Figure 5 The content of mitochondrial p62, OPTN , and VCP in spinal cord of SOD 1-G93A mice is decreased by Parkin knockout Immunostaining of anterior horn of lumbar spinal cord for ChAT (in green) and p62 (in red) at 130 days. Scale bar, 10 mum. Quantification of the percentage of ChAT-positive motor neurons (MN) containing p62-positive inclusions at 130 days. PKO/G93A MN have less SOD1 aggregates than G93A, while Non Tg and PKO MN have none. Data were collected from n = 4 (two males and two females) mice for Non Tg and PKO and n = 6 (three males and three females) for G93A and PKO/G93A. Number of images recorded for each genotype: n = 9 for Non Tg and PKO, n = 16 for G93A, and n = 12 for PKO/G93A. Results are expressed as mean +- SEM; * P = 0.032, by unpaired one-tailed Student's t -test. Representative Western blots of OPTN, p62, and VCP in spinal cord mitochondrial fractions at 130 days. Protein levels are normalized by Complex V. The quantifications in panels (D-F) show that mitochondria of PKO/G93A mice have less mitophagy adaptor proteins than G93A relative to Complex V.

Experimental details: Figure 2 Vastus lateralis biopsy of P2 (A) Vastus lateralis muscle cryostat section hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining shows basophilic subsarcolemmal aggregate in one muscle fiber and one fiber with a small rimmed vacuole. H&E staining x100. (B) Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining x100 reveals some otherwise pale fibers with prominent accumulates of PAS-positive polyglucosan material, evident also in (C) PAS semithin sections x200. (D) Immunohistochemical staining for phosphosphofructokinase shows no reduction in sarcolemmal or cytoplasmic expression. However, abnormal cytoplasmic phosphofructo-1-kinase-positive aggregates are observed in some fibers. These accumulations are unlike normal glycogen positive for (E) p62, (F) ubiquitin, (G) valosin-containing protein, and (H) desmin immunohistochemistry and negative for (I) myotilin, findings consistent with polyglucosan aggregates. (J) In these fiber regions, rimmed vacuolar pathology with accumulation of light chain 3b-positive material is also seen (original magnification x100 in panels E-J).
