Supplementary information

AP4E1 also known as Adaptor Related Protein Complex 4 Epsilon 1 Subunit functions as a component of the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4). It has a mass of approximately 110 kDa. AP4E1 plays a role in the recruitment of clathrin-coated vesicles and is found mainly in the trans-Golgi network. The protein is expressed in several tissues with notable presence in the central nervous system and various epithelial cells.
Biological function summary

AP4E1 facilitates the sorting of cargo proteins at the trans-Golgi network contributing to intracellular trafficking. It forms part of the AP-4 complex that includes other subunits like AP4S1 AP4B1 and AP4M1. This complex binds to sorting signals on the cytoplasmic tails of membrane proteins directing them to their appropriate intracellular destinations.

Pathways

AP4E1 participates in protein sorting mechanisms that influence the traffic of lysosomal enzymes and other cargo proteins. It interacts with SNX27 a protein that links endosomal sorting to signal transduction pathways. AP4E1 has relations with pathways involving endocytosis and membrane trafficking particularly those that regulate cellular homeostasis and signaling.

Altered function or expression of AP4E1 associates with neurological disorders such as hereditary spastic paraplegia. Mutations in this protein can lead to disruptions in neural pathways similar to the effects seen with related proteins like AP4B1. Studies suggest connections to other genetic conditions involving cognitive impairment highlighting the protein's importance in proper neuronal function.

General info

Function

Component of the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4). Adaptor protein complexes are vesicle coat components involved both in vesicle formation and cargo selection. They control the vesicular transport of proteins in different trafficking pathways (PubMed : 10066790, PubMed : 10436028). AP-4 forms a non clathrin-associated coat on vesicles departing the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and may be involved in the targeting of proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endosomal-lysosomal system. It is also involved in protein sorting to the basolateral membrane in epithelial cells and the proper asymmetric localization of somatodendritic proteins in neurons. AP-4 is involved in the recognition and binding of tyrosine-based sorting signals found in the cytoplasmic part of cargos, but may also recognize other types of sorting signal (Probable).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the adaptor complexes large subunit family.
