SCY1-like protein 2 (SCYL2)

The protein contains 929 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 103709 Da.

 

Component of the AP2-containing clathrin coat that may regulate clathrin-dependent trafficking at plasma membrane, TGN and endosomal system (Probable). A possible serine/threonine-protein kinase toward the beta2-subunit of the plasma membrane adapter complex AP2 and other proteins in presence of poly-L-lysine has not been confirmed (PubMed:15809293, PubMed:16914521). By regulating the expression of excitatory receptors at synapses, plays an essential role in neuronal function and signaling and in brain development (By similarity). (updated: Feb. 10, 2021)

DESCRIPTION

SCYL2 is a serine/threonine kinase that is expressed in clathrin-coated vesicles (Conner and Schmid, 2005).

CLONING

By searching for cDNAs encoding large proteins expressed in brain, Nagase et al. (2000) obtained a partial cDNA encoding SCYL2, which they called KIAA1360. The deduced 796-amino acid sequence contains a kinase domain. RT-PCR detected high expression in lung and moderate to high expression in all other adult and fetal tissues and specific brain regions tested. By directed proteomic and mass spectrometric analysis of adaptor protein preparations from bovine brain, followed by EST database analysis, Conner and Schmid (2005) obtained a full-length cDNA encoding human SCYL2, which they called CVAK104. The deduced 933-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 104 kD. It contains an N-terminal serine/threonine kinase domain, followed by 2 weak clathrin-binding motifs (DLL), a predicted coiled-coil domain, and an NPF motif that mediates interactions with EPS15 (600015) homology domains. Human CVAK104 shares about 93% amino acid identity with its mouse and rat homologs. Immunoblot analysis of bovine brain lysates detected a 104-kD protein that was predominantly membrane associated and cofractionated with isolated clathrin-coated vesicles. Two other proteins of 116 and 118 kD were present in both cytosol and membrane fractions, but neither associated with clathrin-coated vesicles.

GENE FUNCTION

Conner and Schmid (2005) found that human CVAK104 bound directly to both clathrin and the plasma membrane adaptor AP2. Kinase assays showed that CVAK104 phosphorylated itself and the beta-2 adaptin subunit (AP2B1; 601025) of AP2 in a poly(L)-lysine-stimulated manner.

MAPPING

Gross (2015) mapped the SCYL2 to chromosome 12q23.1 based on an alignment of the SCYL2 sequence (GenBank GENBANK BC063798) with the genomic sequence (GRCh38). ... More on the omim web site
