Summary: Predicted to enable misfolded protein binding activity and ubiquitin-specific protease binding activity. Involved in endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; regulation of retrograde protein transport, ER to cytosol; and ubiquitin-dependent ERAD pathway. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to several human genes including DERL1 (derlin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

The derlin Dfm1 couples retrotranslocation of a folded protein domain to its proteasomal degradation.
Title: The derlin Dfm1 couples retrotranslocation of a folded protein domain to its proteasomal degradation.
Yeast derlin Dfm1 employs a chaperone-like function to resolve misfolded membrane protein stress.

Derlin rhomboid pseudoproteases employ substrate engagement and lipid distortion to enable the retrotranslocation of ERAD membrane substrates.

Results show Ypf1 is an Endoplasmic Reticulum-resident aspartyl intramembrane protease with a presenilin fold, and identified Doa10 and Dfm1 as its cofactors.
Title: The yeast ER-intramembrane protease Ypf1 refines nutrient sensing by regulating transporter abundance.
Dfm1 was part of complexes which contain the ERAD-L ligase Hrd1/Der3 and Der1 as well as the ERAD-C ligase Doa10. Dfm1 forms a complex with the AAA-ATPase Cdc48 in a strain lacking the Cdc48 membrane-recruiting component Ubx2.
Title: Dfm1 forms distinct complexes with Cdc48 and the ER ubiquitin ligases and is required for ERAD.
Dfm1p degradation complex contains the Cdc48p cofactors Ubx1p and Ubx7p
Title: The ER-associated degradation component Der1p and its homolog Dfm1p are contained in complexes with distinct cofactors of the ATPase Cdc48p.
Dfm1p interacts with Cdc48p through its SHP boxes, and so defines a new motif for interaction with this widely-employed AAA-ATPase.
Title: Yeast Derlin Dfm1 interacts with Cdc48 and functions in ER homeostasis.
