Function
[SNX5_MOUSE] Involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking. Interacts with membranes containing phosphatidylinositol lipids. Acts in part as component of the retromer membrane-deforming SNX-BAR subcomplex. The SNX-BAR retromer mediates retrograde transport of cargo proteins from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is involved in endosome-to-plasma membrane transport for cargo protein recycling. The SNX-BAR subcomplex functions to deform the donor membrane into a tubular profile called endosome-to-TGN transport carrier (ETC). Does not have in vitro vesicle-to-membrane remodeling activity. Involved in retrograde transport of lysosomal enzyme receptor IGF2R. May function as link between endosomal transport vesicles and dynactin. Plays a role in the internalization of EGFR after EGF stimulation. Involved in EGFR endosomal sorting and degradation; the function involves PIP5K1C and is retromer-independent. Together with PIP5K1C facilitates HGS interaction with ubiquitinated EGFR, which initiates EGFR sorting to intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) of the multivesicular body for subsequent lysosomal degradation. Involved in E-cadherin sorting and degradation; inhibits PIP5K1C-mediated E-cadherin degradation (By similarity). Plays a role in macropinocytosis (PubMed:18854019).[UniProtKB:Q9Y5X3][1] [INCE_CHLTR] Inclusion membrane protein probably involved in early modification events of the chlamydial inclusion.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that resides in a membrane-bound compartment, the inclusion. The bacteria secrete a unique class of proteins, Incs, which insert into the inclusion membrane and modulate the host-bacterium interface. We previously reported that IncE binds specifically to the Sorting Nexin 5 Phox domain (SNX5-PX) and disrupts retromer trafficking. Here, we present the crystal structure of the SNX5-PX:IncE complex, showing IncE bound to a unique and highly conserved hydrophobic groove on SNX5. Mutagenesis of the SNX5-PX:IncE binding surface disrupts a previously unsuspected interaction between SNX5 and the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR). Addition of IncE peptide inhibits the interaction of CI-MPR with SNX5. Finally, C. trachomatis infection interferes with the SNX5:CI-MPR interaction, suggesting that IncE and CI-MPR are dependent on the same binding surface on SNX5. Our results provide new insights into retromer assembly and underscore the power of using pathogens to discover disease-related cell biology.
