Host AAA-ATPase VCP/p97 lyses ubiquitinated intracellular bacteria as an innate antimicrobial defence - Nature Microbiology
Host AAA-ATPase VCP/p97 binds and extracts ubiquitinated proteins from the bacterial cell membrane causing bacterial lysis and death to confer cell-autonomous protection against infection.
