Gene Description

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 26A (VPS26A) is the arrestin-fold subunit of the heterotrimeric retromer cargo-selective complex (VPS35-VPS26-VPS29) on early and tubular endosomal membranes. Its C-terminal lobe binds the N-terminal alpha-helical solenoid of VPS35, while its interface with VPS35 and SNX3 directly recognizes canonical omega-Phi-[L/M] sorting motifs in retrograde cargoes such as CI-MPR (IGF2R), sortilin, Wntless, and DMT1-II for endosome-to-Golgi retrieval, and its beta-sandwich surface binds the PDZ domain of SNX27 to drive endosome-to-plasma membrane recycling of transmembrane receptors.

Summary: Cytoplasm localization is true but too broad; refine to cytosol and endosome membrane.
Reason: VPS26A cycles between a soluble cytosolic pool and the cytoplasmic face of endosomal membranes as part of the retromer complex; GO:0005737 (cytoplasm) is refined to GO:0005829 (cytosol) and GO:0010008 (endosome membrane).
Proposed replacements: cytosol endosome membrane
Supporting Evidence:

In particular, retromer is associated with tubular-vesicular profiles that emanate from early endosomes or from intermediates in the maturation from early to late endosomes.

Acts as a component of the retromer cargo-selective complex (CSC). The CSC is believed to be the core functional component of retromer or respective retromer complex variants acting to prevent missorting of selected transmembrane cargo proteins into the lysosomal degradation pathway.

Reason: High-throughput immunofluorescence detects endolysosomal puncta, but cell-biological and structural studies demonstrate that VPS26A localizes to early and maturing endosomes prior to lysosomal fusion; GO:0005764 (lysosome) is laterally corrected to GO:0005768 (endosome), which VPS26A already carries.

Summary: VPS26A directly binds the PDZ domain of SNX27 to mediate endocytic recycling of transmembrane cargoes to the plasma membrane.
Reason: VPS26A interacts directly with a conserved beta-hairpin in the SNX27 PDZ domain to couple retromer to direct endosome-to-plasma-membrane recycling of PDZ-binding receptors such as beta2AR and GLUT1 (PMID:23563491, PMID:25136126, PMID:21602791).
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:23563491
Furthermore, we establish that direct interaction of the SNX27 PDZ domain with the retromer subunit VPS26 is necessary and sufficient to prevent lysosomal entry of SNX27 cargo.
PMID:25136126
Crystal structures and NMR experiments reveal that an exposed β-hairpin in the SNX27 PDZ domain engages a groove in the arrestin-like structure of the vacuolar protein sorting 26A (VPS26A) retromer subunit. The structure establishes how the SNX27 PDZ domain simultaneously binds PDZ-binding motifs and retromer-associated VPS26. Importantly, VPS26A binding increases the affinity of the SNX27 PDZ domain for PDZ- binding motifs by an order of magnitude, revealing cooperativity in cargo selection.
PMID:21602791
Here we show that sequence-directed sorting occurs at the level of entry into retromer tubules and that retromer tubules are associated with Rab4. Furthermore, we show that sorting nexin 27 (SNX27) serves as an essential adaptor protein linking β2ARs to the retromer tubule.

Summary: VPS26A localizes to tubular domains of early endosomes where retrograde cargo is concentrated.
Reason: Immunoelectron and fluorescence microscopy in PMID:15078903 demonstrate that VPS26A localizes to tubular endosomal domains enriched in CI-MPR prior to TGN export.

PMID:15078903
In particular, retromer is associated with tubular-vesicular profiles that emanate from early endosomes or from intermediates in the maturation from early to late endosomes.

Summary: VPS26A directly forms the omega-Phi-[L/M] cargo-binding pocket with SNX3 and binds the SNX27 PDZ domain to mediate retromer cargo adaptor activity.
Reason: X-ray crystallography of the SNX3-retromer-DMT1-II complex (PMID:27889239) demonstrates that VPS26A and SNX3 directly form the binding site for canonical hydrophobic omega-Phi-[L/M] recycling signals, and structural/proteomic analyses of SNX27-retromer (PMID:23563491, PMID:25136126) show that the arrestin-like fold of VPS26A binds an exposed beta-hairpin of the SNX27 PDZ domain to allosterically enhance PDZ-cargo affinity; retromer subunits VPS35 and VPS29 already carry GO:0140312 (cargo adaptor activity) in GOA.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:27889239
Here, we present an X-ray crystallographic analysis of a four-component complex comprising the VPS26 and VPS35 subunits of retromer, the sorting nexin SNX3, and a recycling signal from the divalent cation transporter DMT1-II. This analysis identifies a binding site for canonical recycling signals at the interface between VPS26 and SNX3. In addition, the structure highlights a network of cooperative interactions among the VPS subunits, SNX3, and cargo that couple signal-recognition to membrane recruitment.
PMID:23563491
Furthermore, we establish that direct interaction of the SNX27 PDZ domain with the retromer subunit VPS26 is necessary and sufficient to prevent lysosomal entry of SNX27 cargo.
PMID:25136126
Crystal structures and NMR experiments reveal that an exposed β-hairpin in the SNX27 PDZ domain engages a groove in the arrestin-like structure of the vacuolar protein sorting 26A (VPS26A) retromer subunit. The structure establishes how the SNX27 PDZ domain simultaneously binds PDZ-binding motifs and retromer-associated VPS26. Importantly, VPS26A binding increases the affinity of the SNX27 PDZ domain for PDZ- binding motifs by an order of magnitude, revealing cooperativity in cargo selection.

Core Functions

Arrestin-fold cargo-recognition subunit of the heterotrimeric retromer cargo-selective complex (VPS35-VPS26A-VPS29) that forms the binding site for canonical omega-Phi-[L/M] sorting motifs with VPS35 and SNX3 for endosome-to-Golgi retrieval, and binds the SNX27 PDZ domain to drive endosome-to-plasma-membrane recycling.

    Here we show that sequence-directed sorting occurs at the level of entry into retromer tubules and that retromer tubules are associated with Rab4. Furthermore, we show that sorting nexin 27 (SNX27) serves as an essential adaptor protein linking β2ARs to the retromer tubule.
  • PMID:27385586
    Retromer is a heterotrimeric complex that associates with endosomal membranes and facilitates the retrograde sorting of multiple receptors, including the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor for lysosomal enzymes.
