Abstract

Using detailed functional studies on 24 human transferrin receptor mutants, we identified YXRF as the internalization sequence. Provided that at least 7 residues separate this tetrapeptide from the transmembrane region, changing the tetrapeptide position within the TR cytoplasmic domain does not reduce internalization activity. Thus, any conformational determinant for internalization must be localized to the YXRF sequence. Twenty-eight tetrapeptide analogs of YXRF, found by an unbiased search of all known three-dimensional protein structures, significantly favored tight turns similar to a type I turn. Of the ten tetrapeptides most closely related to YXRF, eight were surface exposed and had tight-turn conformations, as were four of five tetrapeptides with sequences related to the low density lipoprotein receptor internalization motif, NPXY. The internalization sequences of both receptors contain aromatic residues with intervening hydrogen-bonding residues. Thus, two distinct internalization sequences favor a common structural chemistry and implicate an exposed tight turn as the recognition motif for high efficiency endocytosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
