AAGAB Controls AP2 Adaptor Assembly in Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis
Open accessAbstract
Multimeric adaptors are broadly involved in vesicle-mediated membrane trafficking. AP2 adaptor, in particular, plays a central role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) by recruiting cargo and clathrin to endocytic sites. It is generally thought that trafficking adaptors such as AP2 adaptor assemble spontaneously. In this work, however, we discovered that AP2 adaptor assembly is an ordered process controlled by alpha and gamma adaptin binding protein (AAGAB), an uncharacterized factor identified in our genome-wide genetic screen of CME. AAGAB guides the sequential association of AP2 subunits and stabilizes assembly intermediates. Without the assistance of AAGAB, AP2 subunits fail to form the adaptor complex, leading to their degradation. The function of AAGAB is abrogated by a mutation that causes punctate palmoplantar keratoderma type 1 (PPKP1), a human skin disease. Since other multimeric trafficking adaptors operate in an analogous manner to AP2 adaptor, their assembly likely involves a similar regulatory mechanism.

Top-ranking binding proteins of Reps1 included subunits of the AP2 adaptor complex.
“Top-ranking binding proteins of Reps1 included subunits of the AP2 adaptor complex (Fig. 3B and table S4), a key regulator of CME required for GLUT-SPR internalization (21).”
From Regulation of cargo exocytosis by a Reps1-Ralbp1-RalA module (2023) · cites this paper as [21]
The citation is attached to the description of AP2, not to the citing paper’s own finding that Reps1 binds AP2 subunits. The Introduction identifies AP2 as the predominant clathrin adaptor in CME, and the Results describe CME-mediated internalization of an HA-GLUT4-GFP reporter. Our copy does not establish that AP2 is required for internalization of the specifically named GLUT-SPR reporter. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredGLUT4 depends on general exocytic and endocytic pathways to regulate its surface levels.
“The reporter is based on the glucose transporter GLUT4 (Fig. 1A), which depends on general exocytic and endocytic pathways to regulate its surface levels (3, 19–21).”
From Regulation of cargo exocytosis by a Reps1-Ralbp1-RalA module (2023) · cites this paper as [21]
The Results section (‘Identification of CME regulators in a genome-wide genetic screen’; page not provided) says that the GLUT4 reporter, like native GLUT4, is continuously internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and describes measuring its surface levels. The passages found do not establish the claim’s exocytic-pathway component; GLUT4 exocytosis appears in a cited work’s title in the References, not as a finding stated here. (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.
