MU2 ADAPTIN SUBUNIT (AP50) OF AP2 ADAPTOR (SECOND DOMAIN), COMPLEXED WITH EGFR INTERNALIZATION PEPTIDE FYRALM
Overview
Many cell surface proteins are marked for endocytosis by a cytoplasmic, sequence motif, tyrosine-X-X-(hydrophobic residue), that is recognized by, the mu2 subunit of AP2 adaptors. Crystal structures of the internalization, signal binding domain of mu2 complexed with the internalization signal, peptides of epidermal growth factor receptor and the trans-Golgi network, protein TGN38 have been determined at 2.7 angstrom resolution. The signal, peptides adopted an extended conformation rather than the expected tight, turn. Specificity was conferred by hydrophobic pockets that bind the, tyrosine and leucine in the peptide. In the crystal, the protein forms, dimers that could increase the strength and specificity of binding to, dimeric receptors.
