Eap45 in mammalian ESCRT-II binds ubiquitin via a phosphoinositide-interacting GLUE domain
Abstract
Ubiquitination serves as a key sorting signal in the lysosomal degradation of endocytosed receptors through the ability of ubiquitinated membrane proteins to be recognized and sorted by ubiquitin-binding proteins along the endocytic route. The ESCRT-II complex in yeast contains one such protein, Vps36, which harbors a ubiquitin-binding NZF domain and is required for vacuolar sorting of ubiquitinated membrane proteins. Surprisingly, the presumptive mammalian ortholog Eap45 lacks the ubiquitin-binding module of Vps36, and it is thus not clear whether mammalian ESCRT-II functions to bind ubiquitinated cargo. In this paper, we provide evidence that Eap45 contains a novel ubiquitin-binding domain, GLUE (GRAM-like ubiquitin-binding in Eap45), which binds ubiquitin with similar affinity and specificity as other ubiquitin-binding domains. The GLUE domain shares similarities in its primary and predicted secondary structures to phosphoinositide-binding GRAM and PH domains. Accordingly, we find that Eap45 binds to a subset of 3-phosphoinositides, suggesting that ubiquitin recognition could be coordinated with phosphoinositide binding. Furthermore, we show that Eap45 colocalizes with ubiquitinated proteins on late endosomes. These results are consistent with a role for Eap45 in endosomal sorting of ubiquitinated cargo.
