Significance Chaperones are key players in cellular homeostasis that can prevent potentially toxic protein misfolding and aggregation and allow stalled processes to resolve and continue. One of them is a AAA+ ATPase, p97, that acts as a molecular segregase in many processes in the cell. p97 can be regulated via adaptor proteins and posttranslational modifications. Here we present a structure that captures both regulatory mechanisms at once and explains how remodeling of p97 by the adaptor ASPL enables binding of the p97-modifying methyltransferase METTL21D.
