Supplementary information

PICALM also known as Phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein is a protein weighing approximately 70 kDa. It plays an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis where it helps assembly of the clathrin coat on the cytoplasmic face of the cell membrane. Expression of the PICALM gene is found in various tissues with significant levels in the brain lungs and spleen. The gene encoding PICALM is located on chromosome 11.
Biological function summary

PICALM is essential in the trafficking of molecules within cells particularly in the endocytosis and endosomal sorting pathways. This protein is part of large protein complexes assembled during the formation of vesicles. Through these complexes PICALM influences the transport and recycling of membrane receptors and other molecules ensuring proper cellular functions. The clathrin coat assembly and disassembly rely heavily on its function for effective cellular trafficking processes.

Pathways

PICALM integrates into the clathrin-mediated endocytosis and vesicle-mediated transport pathways. It works alongside proteins such as adaptin and dynamin to facilitate the internalization of proteins and later processing within cellular compartments. In the context of cellular signaling and homeostasis these pathways involving PICALM contribute significantly to receptor recycling and downregulation maintaining proper cellular responses to external stimuli.

PICALM has been linked to Alzheimer's disease and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In Alzheimer's disease altered PICALM function or expression can affect amyloid precursor protein processing implicating proteins such as presenilins and tau as well. For acute myeloid leukemia the PICALM-MLLT10 fusion protein resulting from chromosomal translocations can contribute to leukemogenesis by disrupting normal gene regulation. These associations highlight the diverse roles and importance of PICALM in both normal physiology and pathology.

Target data

Cytoplasmic adapter protein that plays a critical role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis which is important in processes such as internalization of cell receptors, synaptic transmission or removal of apoptotic cells. Recruits AP-2 and attaches clathrin triskelions to the cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane leading to clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) assembly (PubMed : 10436022, PubMed : 16262731, PubMed : 27574975). Furthermore, regulates clathrin-coated vesicle size and maturation by directly sensing and driving membrane curvature (PubMed : 25898166). In addition to binding to clathrin, mediates the endocytosis of small R-SNARES (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein REceptors) between plasma membranes and endosomes including VAMP2, VAMP3, VAMP4, VAMP7 or VAMP8 (PubMed : 21808019, PubMed : 22118466, PubMed : 23741335). In turn, PICALM-dependent SNARE endocytosis is required for the formation and maturation of autophagic precursors (PubMed : 25241929). Modulates thereby autophagy and the turnover of autophagy substrates such as MAPT/TAU or amyloid precursor protein cleaved C-terminal fragment (APP-CTF) (PubMed : 24067654, PubMed : 25241929).
