Tumor susceptibility gene 101 protein (TSG101)

The protein contains 390 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 43944 Da.

 

Component of the ESCRT-I complex, a regulator of vesicular trafficking process. Binds to ubiquitinated cargo proteins and is required for the sorting of endocytic ubiquitinated cargos into multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Mediates the association between the ESCRT-0 and ESCRT-I complex. Required for completion of cytokinesis; the function requires CEP55. May be involved in cell growth and differentiation. Acts as a negative growth regulator. Involved in the budding of many viruses through an interaction with viral proteins that contain a late-budding motif P-[ST]-A-P. This interaction is essential for viral particle budding of numerous retroviruses. Required for the exosomal release of SDCBP, CD63 and syndecan (PubMed:22660413). It may also play a role in the extracellular release of microvesicles that differ from the exosomes (PubMed:22315426). (updated: Jan. 31, 2018)

CLONING

Using a strategy that enabled the isolation of previously unknown genes encoding selectable recessive phenotypes, Li and Cohen (1996) identified in the mouse a gene whose homozygous functional disruption by insertional mutagenesis and antisense RNA synthesis produced cell transformation. In their strategy, expression of a selectable marker in mouse 3T3 cells was dependent upon insertion of a gene search vector downstream of the promoter of randomly targeted chromosomal genes. Transactivation of a promoter on the noncoding strand of the search vector resulted in expression of antisense RNA that was complementary to the coding strand of the targeted allele, resulting in functional inactivation of the other allele. They subsequently selected for clonal colonies that gained the ability to grow in 0.5% agar and formed metastatic tumors in nude mice. Li and Cohen (1996) isolated such a clonal colony and designated the inactivated gene Tsg101. Removal of the transactivator required for antisense RNA expression restored normal growth, presumably because of subsequent loss of expression of the antisense transcripts complementary to Tsg101. The protein encoded by the Tsg101 cDNA contains a coiled-coil domain that interacts with stathmin (151442), a cytosolic phosphoprotein implicated in tumorigenesis. Li and Cohen (1996) observed that overexpression of Tsg101 antisense transcripts in NIH 3T3 cells resulted in cell transformation and increased stathmin-specific mRNA. Li et al. (1997) determined that the human TSG101 gene encodes a 381-amino acid polypeptide of 42.8 kD which is 94% identical to the mouse protein. By database searching and comparison of the TSG101 proteins of yeast and other organisms, Koonin and Abagyan (1997) concluded that TSG101 may belong to a group of apparently inactive homologs of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. Wagner et al. (2003) stated that many of the TSG101 transcripts associated with human malignancies are actually alternatively spliced forms generated by exon skipping.

GENE FUNCTION

Like other enveloped viruses, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 uses cellular machinery to bud from infected cells. Garrus et al. (2001) showed that TSG101, which functions in vacuolar protein sorting (VPS), is required for HIV-1 budding. The ubiquitin enzyme-2 variant (UEV) domain of TSG101 binds to an essential tetrapeptide (PTAP) motif within the p6 domain of the structural Gag protein of HIV-1 and also to ubiquitin. Depletion of cellular TSG101 by small interfering RNA arrested HIV-1 budding at a late stage, and budding was rescued by reintroduction of TSG101. Dominant-negative mutant VPS4 proteins that inhibit vacuolar protein sorting also arrested HIV-1 and MLV (murine leukemia virus) budding. These observations suggested that retroviruses bud by appropriating cellular machinery normally used in the VPS pathway to form multivesicular bodies. Amit et al. (2004) showed that LRSAM1 (610933) binds the TSG101 SB (steadiness box) and UEV regions. LRSAM1 ubiquitylates TSG101 both in HEK293T cells and in vitro, and multiple monomeric ubiquitylation of TSG101 results in inactivation of TSG101 sorting function. Studies of receptor endocytosis and virus budding suggested that LRSAM1 enables recycling of TSG101-containing sorting complexes and cargo reloading. In Drosophila cells, Moberg et al. (2005) showed that Tsg101 mutations activated Notch (see NOTCH1; 190198) signaling and caused overproduction of a secret ... More on the omim web site
