2 ANGSTROM X-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE YEAST ESCRT-I VPS28 C-TERMINUS IN COMPLEX WITH THE NZF-N DOMAIN FROM ESCRT-II
Structural highlights
Function[VPS28_YEAST] Component of the ESCRT-I complex, a regulator of vesicular trafficking process. Required for normal endocytic and biosynthetic traffic to the yeast vacuole. [VPS36_YEAST] Component of the ESCRT-II complex, which is required for multivesicular body (MVB) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. The MVB pathway mediates delivery of transmembrane proteins into the lumen of the lysosome for degradation. The ESCRT-II complex is probably involved in the recruitment of the ESCRT-III complex. Involved in the trafficking of the plasma membrane ATPase. Its ability to bind ubiquitin plays a central role in endosomal sorting of ubiquitinated cargo proteins by the ESCRT complexes.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) complexes orchestrate efficient sorting of ubiquitinated transmembrane receptors to lysosomes via multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Yeast ESCRT-I and ESCRT-II interact directly in vitro; however, this association is not detected in yeast cytosol. To gain understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this link, we have characterised the ESCRT-I/-II supercomplex and determined the crystal structure of its interface. The link is formed by the vacuolar protein sorting (Vps)28 C-terminus (ESCRT-I) binding with nanomolar affinity to the Vps36-NZF-N zinc-finger domain (ESCRT-II). A hydrophobic patch on the Vps28-CT four-helix bundle contacts the hydrophobic knuckles of Vps36-NZF-N. Mutation of the ESCRT-I/-II link results in a cargo-sorting defect in yeast. Interestingly, the two Vps36 NZF domains, NZF-N and NZF-C, despite having the same core fold, use distinct surfaces to bind ESCRT-I or ubiquitinated cargo. We also show that a new component of ESCRT-I, Mvb12 (YGR206W), engages ESCRT-I directly with nanomolar affinity to form a 1:1:1:1 heterotetramer. Mvb12 does not affect the affinity of ESCRT-I for ESCRT-II in vitro. Our data suggest a complex regulatory mechanism for the ESCRT-I/-II link in yeast.
