Subunit of clathrin-associated adaptor protein complex 1 that plays a role in protein sorting in the late-Golgi/trans-Golgi network (TGN) and/or endosomes (PubMed:31630791). The AP complexes mediate both the recruitment of clathrin to membranes and the recognition of sorting signals within the cytosolic tails of transmembrane cargo molecules. (updated: June 17, 2020)

GENE FAMILY
Adaptins are essential for the formation of adaptor complexes of clathrin-coded vesicles. Adaptins interact with the cytoplasmic domains of membrane-spanning receptors in the course of their endocytic/exocytic transport. They represent 1 of at least 4 components of intracellular transport and receptor downregulation pathways, the others being alpha/gamma-adaptins, receptors, and ligand molecules. Beta-adaptins have a bipartite structure with invariant N-terminal and variable C-terminal domains. The former interact with the uniform component of coded vesicles, the clathrin lattice. In contrast, the C-terminal domain provides a set of recognition sequences for other proteins and therefore functions as part of a selector domain responsible for the specific entrapment of membrane-bound proteins in vesicles.
CLONING
A 140-kb homozygous deletion in 22q12 in a sporadic meningioma directed Peyrard et al. (1994) to the cloning and characterization of a new member of the human beta-adaptin gene family, which was named BAM22 for 'beta-adaptin-meningioma-chromosome 22.' The BAM22 gene was totally inactivated in the tumor with homozygous deletion. Northern blot analysis of 70 sporadic meningiomas showed specific loss of expression in 8 tumors, suggesting inactivation of BAM22. Based on this, Peyrard et al. (1994) suggested that BAM22 is a second chromosome 22 locus important in meningioma development and second in importance to the NF2 gene (
607379), which is mutant in neurofibromatosis type II (
101000). The likelihood that multiple loci on chromosome 22 are involved in the oncogenesis of meningioma is suggested by the facts that monosomy 22 is observed in as many as 65% of tumors (Zankl and Zang, 1980); some meningiomas have chromosome 22 deletions not encompassing the NF2 gene region and do not show mutations in the NF2 gene; and constitutional ring chromosome 22 has been observed in young patients with multiple tumors (Arinami et al., 1986; Petrella et al., 1993).
GENE STRUCTURE
Peyrard et al. (1996) described the genomic structure of the human beta-adaptin gene BAM22. The gene consists of 22 exons spanning over 100 kb. They analyzed 7 exons for sporadic mutations in 110 sporadic meningiomas and failed to detect point mutations. Peyrard et al. (1996) suggested that mutations in the promoter region of the gene may be important in generating meningiomas. They also considered the possibility that the 140-kb region involved in homozygous deletions in meningiomas may contain another candidate tumor suppressor gene.
GENE FUNCTION
Doray et al. (2002) demonstrated that the Golgi-localized, gamma-ear-containing adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factor-binding proteins (GGA1,
606004 and GGA3,
606006) and the coat protein adaptor protein-1 (AP-1) complex (see AP1G2,
603534) colocalize in clathrin-coated buds of the trans-Golgi networks of mouse L cells and human HeLa cells. Binding studies revealed a direct interaction between the hinge domains of the GGAs and the gamma-ear domain of AP-1. Further, AP-1 contained bound casein kinase-2 (see CSNK2A1,
115440) that phosphorylated GGA1 and GGA3, thereby causing autoinhibition. Doray et al. (2002) demonstrated that this autoinhibition could induce the directed transfer of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (see
154540) from the GGAs to AP-1. Mannose 6-phosphate receptors that were defective in binding to GGAs were poorly incorporated into adaptor protein complex ...
