IPR037855

Description

IPR037855 is a Vacuolar protein sorting protein 36.

<p>Vps36 is a subunit of ESCRT-II, a protein complex involved in driving protein sorting from endosomes to lysosomes. The GLUE domain of Vps36 allows for a tight interaction to occur between the protein and Vps28, a subunit of ESCRT-I. This interaction is critical for ubiquitinated cargo progression from early to late endosomes [[cite:PUB00039953]].</p> <p>The multivesicular body (MVB) protein-sorting pathway targets transmembrane proteins either for degradation or for function in the vacuole/lysosomes. The signal for entry into this pathway is monoubiquitination of protein cargo, which results in incorporation of cargo into luminal vesicles at late endosomes. Another crucial player is phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdINS(3)P), which is enriched on early endosomes and on the luminal vesicles of MVBs. ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport)-I, -II and -III complexes are critical for MVB budding and sorting of monoubiquitinated cargo into the luminal vesicles [[cite:PUB00087727]]. Various Ub-binding domains (UBDs), such as UIM, UEV and NZF are found in such machineries [[cite:PUB00039953], [cite:PUB00035959]].</p> <p>The Vps 36 subunit of the ESCRT-II trafficking complex binds both phosphoinositides and ubiquitin. All members of the Vps36 family contain a divergent GRAM/PH-like domain; yeast and some other fungi have one or two NZF domains inserted in the GRAM/PH-like domain [[cite:PUB00039953], [cite:PUB00035959]].</p>

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Cellular component ESCRT II complex An endosomal sorting complex required for transport and functions downstream of ESCRT I complex. It consists of the class E vacuolar protein sorting (Vps) proteins and is required for the membrane recruitment of ESCRT III complex and binds to ubiquitinated cargoes.
Biological process Endosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway The directed movement of substances from endosomes to lysosomes or vacuoles by a pathway in which molecules are sorted into multivesicular bodies, which then fuse with the target compartment.
Molecular function Ubiquitin binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ubiquitin, a protein that when covalently bound to other cellular proteins marks them for proteolytic degradation.
