TARGETING of transmembrane proteins to different
compartments of the endocytic and late (post-Golgi) secretory pathways is largely dependent
upon sorting signals contained within the cytosolic domains of the proteins (reviewed in reference 19, 24). The signals are thought to interact with specific recognition
molecules, which are components of the machinery involved in the formation of membrane-bound transport intermediates (e.g., coated vesicles; reference 2). The interaction of signals with their recognition molecules is thus
considered to be the key event leading to selective recruitment of cargo transmembrane proteins into the nascent
transport intermediates. Studies over the past 30 years
have provided extensive evidence for the occurrence of
this basic mechanism of protein sorting at multiple sites
within the cell. However, the molecular details of the signal-recognition event have only recently begun to be unraveled. This mini-review will focus on recent progress in
the elucidation of the molecular bases for the recognition of a subset of sorting signals, referred to as tyrosine-based signals, by a family of adaptor protein (AP)1 complexes.
Tyrosine-based Signals: A Degenerate Family
Tyrosine-based signals constitute a family of degenerate
motifs minimally defined by the presence of a critical tyrosine residue (see reference 22 and references therein).
Most tyrosine-based signals conform to the consensus motifs YXXØ (Y is tyrosine, X is any amino acid, and Ø is an
amino acid with a bulky hydrophobic side chain; reference
5) or NPXY (N is asparagine and P is proline; reference
6). YXXØ signals are currently the best understood from a
structural standpoint and thus will be the primary subject
of our discussion. YXXØ signals can be found within the cytosolic domains of all types of transmembrane proteins,
including type I (e.g., lamp-1), type II (e.g., the transferrin
receptor), and multi-spanning (e.g., CD63). They can be
most easily identified within short cytosolic tails (i.e., <35
amino acid residues), although they have also been shown
to exist within the large cytosolic domains of some signaling receptors (e.g., the epidermal growth factor receptor)
and retroviral envelope glycoproteins (e.g., HIV-1 gp41).
The presence of a sequence conforming to the YXXØ motif within a large cytosolic domain, however, is not necessarily predictive of sorting information since signals must
be presented in an appropriate context to be active. In
mammalian cells, virtually all YXXØ signals mediate
rapid internalization from the cell surface. Some YXXØ
signals can additionally mediate lysosomal targeting, localization to specialized endosomal-lysosomal organelles
such as antigen-processing compartments, delivery to the
basolateral plasma membrane of polarized epithelial cells
or localization to the TGN (reviewed in reference 19, 22,
24). The multiple functions of YXXØ signals raise the
question of how the same type of signal can mediate sorting to different cellular compartments. A hypothesis that
has been put forth to explain the various roles of YXXØ
signals is that they must interact selectively with a family
of recognition molecules associated with different sites of
protein sorting. Recent findings that YXXØ signals are capable of interacting with several AP complexes provide a
framework for testing the validity of this hypothesis.
Recognition of YXXØ Signals by the µ2 Subunit
of AP-2
Glickman et al. (14) pioneered the use of in vitro affinity-binding methods to study the interactions of the cytosolic
tails of membrane receptors with AP complexes. In the
course of these studies, they demonstrated a tyrosine-dependent interaction of the cytosolic tail of the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor with AP-2, a
plasma membrane, clathrin-associated complex composed
of two large subunits (

and
2), one medium subunit (µ2), and one small subunit (
2) (Fig. 1 A). Generalization of this biochemical approach to other transmembrane
proteins, however, was hampered by the low affinity of the
interactions in vitro. Further progress required the development of more sensitive protein interaction assays based
on techniques such as the yeast two-hybrid system and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. The use of the yeast
two-hybrid system, for instance, was instrumental in the
identification of µ2 as a recognition molecule for YXXØ
signals (29). Mutational and combinatorial analyses demonstrated that the Y residue is essential for binding to µ2
and cannot be effectively substituted even by the structurally related phenylalanine or phosphotyrosine residues (4,
28, 36). Leucine is the preferred residue at the Ø position,
although isoleucine, phenylalanine, methionine, and, to a
lesser extent, valine, are tolerated (4, 27, 28). Many residues are permitted at the X positions, although arginine
and proline are favored at the second X position (4, 27,
28). All of these preferences are consistent with the requirements for optimal function of YXXØ signals in rapid
internalization, and thus provide strong correlative evidence for the physiological role of YXXØ-µ2 interactions.

YXXØ signals and corresponding residues in other members of
the AP µ family. Y- and Ø-binding residues are indicated in red
and blue, respectively.
Structure-function analyses of µ2 have established that
this polypeptide has a bipartite structure with the NH2-terminal third of the molecule (amino acid residues ~1-145)
being involved in assembly with 2, and the remaining
two-thirds (amino acid residues ~164-435) in interactions
with YXXØ signals (1) (Fig. 1 B). In a landmark study,
David Owen and Philip Evans (32) have recently solved
the crystal structure of the YXXØ-binding domain of µ2 complexed to peptides containing either the YQRL signal
from the protein TGN38 or the YRAL signal from the epidermal growth factor receptor. The YXXØ-binding domain of µ2 has a banana-shaped structure consisting of 16
-sheet strands arranged into two subdomains (Fig. 1 B).
YXXØ signals bind in an extended conformation (rather than as a tight turn, as was previously believed) to a region of the molecule having pockets for both the Y and Ø residues. This mode of interaction, resembling a two-pronged
plug fitting into a two-holed socket, is reminiscent of that
of phosphotyrosine-containing motifs with SH2 domains
(40), although the topographic features of the binding sites
and the details of the interactions differ considerably. The
aromatic ring of the critical Y residue is involved in hydrophobic interactions with µ2 residues F174 and W421, as well
as stacking on the guanidinium group of R423. In addition,
the phenolic hydroxyl group of the Y residue is engaged in
a network of hydrogen bonds with D176, K203, and R423 of
µ2 (Y-binding residues are indicated in red in Fig. 1 C; reference 32). These characteristics of the Y-binding pocket
explain why phenylalanine and phosphotyrosine residues
substitute poorly or not at all for tyrosine residues in the
signals: phenylalanine residues would be unable to establish hydrogen bonds with residues at the bottom of
the pocket, while phosphotyrosine residues would be too
bulky to fit into the pocket and would elicit electrostatic repulsion by D176. Residues lining the Ø pocket include
L173, L175, V401, L404, V422, and the aliphatic portion of K420
(Ø-binding residues are indicated in blue in Fig. 1 C; reference 32). The hydrophobicity and flexibility of the side
chains of these residues allow accommodation of different
bulky hydrophobic side chains at the Ø position, with leucine providing the best fit. Although interactions through
the Y and Ø residues provide the main means of attachment of signals to µ2, specific X residues at positions between the Y and Ø residues may contribute additional contact points. For example, the R residue at the second X
position of the YQRL signal is engaged in hydrophobic interactions with W421 and I419 and hydrogen bonding with
K420 thus explaining the preference for R at this position
(4, 27, 28). Neither NPXY-type signals (6) nor dileucine-based signals (another type of signal having a critical pair
of bulky hydrophobic residues; reference 17, 21) can be accommodated in the YXXØ-binding site of µ2 (32), in
agreement with the failure to isolate peptides conforming
to these motifs in combinatorial screens (4, 27), as well as
with the inability of these signals to compete with YXXØ
signals for the sorting machinery in vivo (23, 42). In fact,
recent studies have shown that NPXY and dileucine-based
signals bind to other recognition molecules, namely the
terminal domain of clathrin (18) and the
subunits of AP-1 and AP-2 (15, 34), respectively.
Interactions of YXXØ Signals with Other AP µ Subunits
The finding that the µ2 subunit of AP-2 interacts with YXXØ signals raised the possibility that analogous subunits of other AP complexes could similarly function in recognition of YXXØ. To date, three additional complexes structurally related to AP-2 have been described in mammals: AP-1, AP-3, and AP-4 (Fig. 1 A). Each of these AP complexes contains a µ subunit that displays significant homology to µ2 over the entire sequence. µ1A (formerly called µ1; reference 25) is a component of the AP-1 complex in most cell types, whereas a closely related isoform, µ1B, may be a subunit of this complex in polarized epithelial and glandular cells (30). µ3A and µ3B are alternative components of AP-3 (10, 37, 38); µ3A is widely expressed, whereas µ3B expression is mainly restricted to cells of neuronal origin (33). Finally, µ4 (originally known as µ-ARP2; reference 41) is a subunit of the recently described AP-4 complex (9). Sequence alignments indicate that most of the µ2 residues directly involved in interactions with the Y and Ø residues of YXXØ signals are conserved in other AP µ family members (Fig. 1 C). Indeed, µ1A, µ1B, µ3A, and µ3B have all been shown to interact with YXXØ signals, albeit with lower affinity relative to µ2 (10, 27, 34, 39). The conservation of Y- and Ø-binding residues also extends to µ4, as well as to AP µ orthologs from nonmammalian organisms (Fig. 1 C). This suggests that these molecules may also be capable of recognizing YXXØ signals.
The identification of a family of proteins that interact with YXXØ signals supports the hypothesis that the functional specificity of these signals may be dictated by their selective interaction with different recognition molecules. As mentioned above, µ2 tolerates many different amino acid side chains surrounding the critical Y and Ø residues, although it prefers arginine at the second X position of the YXXØ signal (4, 27, 28). Similar analyses have revealed that µ1A and µ3A prefer non-polar and acidic residues, respectively, at that position (27). Although the functional significance of the µ1A preferences is unclear, µ3A preferences are suggestive of a role in lysosomal targeting since the signals of several proteins localized to lysosomes and lysosome-related organelles (e.g., CD63, lamp-2a, and GMP-17) contain acidic residues at positions adjacent to the tyrosine residue.
Physiological Roles of YXXØ-µ Subunit Interactions
Having just identified a family of YXXØ-recognition molecules, an important next question that needs to be addressed is: what sorting events are mediated by interaction of YXXØ signals with each of these molecules?
AP-1 has been localized mainly to the TGN at steady state, where it is thought to mediate transport of lamp-1 and mannose 6-phosphate receptors to compartments of the endosomal-lysosomal system (13, 16). Recent studies, however, have raised the possibility that AP-1 may be involved in protein sorting to the basolateral plasma membrane of polarized epithelial cells (12, 31).
As the only AP complex localized to the plasma membrane, AP-2 is an obvious candidate for mediating rapid internalization through recognition of YXXØ signals. Recently, Nesterov et al. have provided compelling evidence for a role of µ2 in this process using a dominant negative genetic approach (26). These investigators constructed a µ2 variant with mutations in D176 and W421, which are critical elements of the YXXØ-binding site (Fig. 1 C). This mutant µ2 was unable to bind YXXØ signals but competed with endogenous µ2 for incorporation into the AP-2 complex. Interestingly, overexpression of mutant µ2 inhibited internalization of the transferrin receptor (26), which is known to be mediated by the YXXØ-type signal YTRF (7).
The intracellular localization of the AP-3 complex is not
known with certainty, although published evidence suggests an association with endosomes and/or the TGN (8,
10, 37, 38). Evidence for a role of AP-3 in sorting mediated
by YXXØ signals has recently been obtained from the
analysis of AP-3-deficient cells. These cells were either
generated by using an antisense RNA methodology (20)
or derived from two patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome carrying mutations in the AP-3 3A subunit (11).
In both cases, the AP-3 deficiency resulted in increased
routing of YXXØ-containing, lysosomal membrane proteins through the plasma membrane, thus suggesting a
function for AP-3 in YXXØ-mediated targeting to lysosomes. In contrast, the trafficking of non-lysosomal membrane proteins having YXXØ signals (e.g., the transferrin
receptor) was not noticeably altered (11). This differential
effect, which is consistent with the preference of the AP-3
µ3A subunit for YXXØ signals found in lysosomal membrane proteins (11, 27, 39), lends support to the notion that
selective interaction with AP complexes underlies the
functional specificity of YXXØ signals. The fact that a
substantial fraction of lysosomal membrane proteins are
still targeted to lysosomes in AP-3-deficient cells (11, 20)
suggests that other AP complexes may provide alternative
means of delivery to lysosomes. Perhaps this is a function
of AP-1, or of the recently described AP-4 complex, which
appears to be localized to the TGN or a neighboring compartment (9).
In conclusion, the hypothesis advanced to explain the involvement of YXXØ signals in multiple sorting events can now be made more explicit: YXXØ signals are recognized with characteristic preferences by the medium (µ) subunits of several AP complexes. The factors that determine the fidelity of sorting processes in vivo, however, remain poorly understood. First, although each µ subunit displays preferences for certain X and Ø residues, there is nonetheless a significant overlap in sequence specificity (27). Contextual factors such as the position of the signal within the cytosolic domain (35), the oligomeric state of the transmembrane protein (3), and the presence of other signals in the cytosolic domain, may contribute to differential interactions with the AP complexes. Second, there still may be additional YXXØ-binding proteins to be discovered. As discussed above, µ4 is a likely candidate for one such molecule. Finally, transmembrane proteins moving along trafficking pathways may meet the AP complexes sequentially rather than simultaneously. This means that the trajectory followed by a protein, as well as potential biochemical modifications along the way, may determine which interactions actually take place. Further research will be needed to assess the contribution of these factors to the selectivity of sorting by YXXØ signals. With a solid molecular foundation now in place, however, we can anticipate rapid progress toward the decipherment of this protein sorting code.
