Structure of the EPS15-EH2 Stonin2 Complex
Structural highlights
Disease[EPS15_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving EPS15 is found in acute leukemias. Translocation t(1;11)(p32;q23) with MLL/HRX. The result is a rogue activator protein. Function[EPS15_HUMAN] Involved in cell growth regulation. May be involved in the regulation of mitogenic signals and control of cell proliferation. Involved in the internalization of ligand-inducible receptors of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) type, in particular EGFR. Plays a role in the assembly of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs). Seems to be involved in CCPs maturation including invagination or budding. Involved in endocytosis of integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) and transferrin receptor (TFR); internalization of ITGB1 as DAB2-dependent cargo but not TFR seems to require association with DAB2.[1] [2] [3] [4] [STON2_HUMAN] Adapter protein involved in endocytic machinery. May be involved in the vesicle recycling. May facilitate clathrin-coated vesicle uncoating.[5] [6] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedEps15 homology (EH) domain-containing proteins play a key regulatory role in intracellular membrane trafficking and cell signalling. EH domains serve as interaction platforms for short peptide motifs comprising the residues NPF within natively unstructured regions of accessory proteins. The EH-NPF interactions described thus far are of very low affinity and specificity. Here, we identify the presynaptic endocytic sorting adaptor stonin2 as a high-affinity ligand for the second EH domain (EH2) of the clathrin accessory protein Eps15. Calorimetric data indicate that both NPF motifs within stonin2 interact with EH2 simultaneously and with sub-micromolar affinity. The solution structure of this complex reveals that the first NPF motif binds to the conserved site on the EH domain, whereas the second motif inserts into a novel hydrophobic pocket. Our data show how combination of two EH-attachment sites provides a means for modulating specificity and allows discrimination from a large pool of potential binding partners containing NPF motifs. Structure of the Eps15-stonin2 complex provides a molecular explanation for EH-domain ligand specificity.,Rumpf J, Simon B, Jung N, Maritzen T, Haucke V, Sattler M, Groemping Y EMBO J. 2008 Feb 6;27(3):558-69.
