Transient Fcho1/2⋅Eps15/R⋅AP-2 Nanoclusters Prime the AP-2 Clathrin Adaptor for Cargo Binding
Open accessAbstract
Clathrin-coated vesicles form by rapid assembly of discrete coat constituents into a cargo-sorting lattice. How the sequential phases of coat construction are choreographed is unclear, but transient protein-protein interactions mediated by short interaction motifs are pivotal. We show that arrayed Asp-Pro-Phe (DPF) motifs within the early-arriving endocytic pioneers Eps15/R are differentially decoded by other endocytic pioneers Fcho1/2 and AP-2. The structure of an Eps15/R⋅Fcho1 μ-homology domain complex reveals a spacing-dependent DPF triad, bound in a mechanistically distinct way from the mode of single DPF binding to AP-2. Using cells lacking FCHO1/2 and with Eps15 sequestered from the plasma membrane, we establish that without these two endocytic pioneers, AP-2 assemblies are fleeting and endocytosis stalls. Thus, distinct DPF-based codes within the unstructured Eps15/R C terminus direct the assembly of temporary Fcho1/2⋅Eps15/R⋅AP-2 ternary complexes to facilitate conformational activation of AP-2 by the Fcho1/2 interdomain linker to promote AP-2 cargo engagement.

Scaffolds such as EPS15, clathrin, intersectins, and EPS15R interact with themselves and with clathrin adaptors to cluster coat components together.
“The scaffolds such as epidermal growth factor receptor substrate 15 (EPS15), clathrin, intersectins, and epidermal growth factor receptor substrate 15 like 1 (EPS15R) interact with themselves and with the clathrin adaptors to cluster the coat components together [43,55,56].”
From Insights of Endocytosis Signaling in Health and Disease (2023) · cites this paper as [56]
The Discussion (page unavailable) proposes that Eps15 oligomers engage multiple AP-2 adaptors to form nanoclusters, and describes polymeric clathrin in coat assembly. The Results, ‘A μHD Interaction Network’ (page unavailable), identify intersectin 1 as an FCHO1 binding partner. These passages support coat-component clustering, but do not establish that every listed scaffold both self-interacts and binds clathrin adaptors to produce it. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
