Abstract

The AP2 adaptor complex (alpha, beta2, sigma2, and mu2 subunits) crosslinks the endocytic clathrin scaffold to PtdIns4,5P(2)-containing membranes and transmembrane protein cargo. In the "locked" cytosolic form, AP2's binding sites for the two endocytic motifs, YxxPhi on the C-terminal domain of mu2 (C-mu2) and [ED]xxxL[LI] on sigma2, are blocked by parts of beta2. Using protein crystallography, we show that AP2 undergoes a large conformational change in which C-mu2 relocates to an orthogonal face of the complex, simultaneously unblocking both cargo-binding sites; the previously unstructured mu2 linker becomes helical and binds back onto the complex. This structural rearrangement results in AP2's four PtdIns4,5P(2)- and two endocytic motif-binding sites becoming coplanar, facilitating their simultaneous interaction with PtdIns4,5P(2)/cargo-containing membranes. Using a range of biophysical techniques, we show that the endocytic cargo binding of AP2 is driven by its interaction with PtdIns4,5P(2)-containing membranes.

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.
