AP-4, a novel protein complex related to clathrin adaptors.
Here we report the identification and characterization of AP-4, a novel protein complex related to the heterotetrameric AP-1, AP-2, and AP-3 adaptors that mediate protein sorting in the endocytic and late secretory pathways. The key to the identification of this complex was the cloning and sequencing of two widely expressed, mammalian cDNAs encoding new homologs of the adaptor beta and sigma su...
متن کاملClathrin Adaptors Really Adapt
The clathrin pathway is the principal route for receptor-mediated endocytosis and growth factor downregulation. Heterotetrameric clathrin adaptors directly link the clathrin coat with cargo transmembrane proteins that are sorted into coated pits and vesicles. A paper in this issue of Cell describes the atomic structure of the adaptor-protein 2 (AP-2) core, the portion that makes contacts with t...
متن کاملStabilization of clathrin coats by the core of the clathrin-associated protein complex AP-2.
AP-2 is the class of clathrin-associated protein complex found in coated vesicles derived from the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. We demonstrate here, using a chemical method, that an AP-2 complex is an asymmetric structure consisting of one large alpha chain, one large beta chain, one medium AP50 chain, and one small AP17 chain. The complex has been shown to contain a core and two append...
متن کاملAdaptors for clathrin-mediated traffic.
Clathrin-based systems are responsible for a large portion of vesicular traffic originating from the plasma membrane and the trans-Golgi network that reaches the endosomal compartment. The assembly of cytosolic clathrin forms the scaffold required for the local deformation of the membrane and for the formation of coated pits and vesicles. In this process, clathrin interacts in a coordinated fas...
متن کاملAssembly of clathrin coats disrupts the association between Eps15 and AP-2 adaptors.
Eps15 is a phosphorylation substrate of the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase. In vivo, it is largely found in complex with AP-2, the plasma membrane clathrin adaptor protein complex. Although AP-2 is uniformly distributed across the surface of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles, Eps15 is preferentially found in the rims of endocytic clathrin-coated pits (1). This observation suggests that...
