Gene Description

VPS28 is a conserved core subunit of human ESCRT-I. It pairs with TSG101, a VPS37 paralog, and an MVB12/UBAP-family subunit to organize ESCRT-I for ubiquitin-dependent endosomal cargo sorting, multivesicular body assembly, reverse-topology membrane remodeling, and phagophore/autophagosome closure. Unlike TSG101, VPS28 is not well supported as a direct ubiquitin-binding protein; its core role is ESCRT-I structural/scaffold assembly and membrane-site recruitment.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0005829 cytosol
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: cytosol localization is supported but broad and non-core.
Reason: VPS28 is predominantly cytosolic as a soluble ESCRT-I component before membrane recruitment, but the core proteostasis function is ESCRT-I activity at endosomal/phagophore membranes.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11134028

TSG101 and hVPS28 are predominantly cytosolic
GO:0043130 ubiquitin binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Direct ubiquitin binding is over-annotated for VPS28.
Reason: The cited paper shows the TSG101-hVPS28 complex binds ubiquitin, but isolated hVPS28 does not; the binding is attributed to TSG101 UEV-domain recognition, so VPS28 should not be curated as directly enabling ubiquitin binding.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11916981
Both TSG101 and hVPS28 bound specifically to ubiquitin-agarose

hVPS28 did not bind to ubiquitin-agarose

GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: protein transport to vacuole involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the multivesicular body sorting pathway is supported as part of the core ESCRT-I endosomal cargo-sorting role.
Reason: VPS28/ESCRT-I supports ubiquitin-dependent endosomal receptor/cargo sorting into MVBs and delivery toward lysosomal degradation.

Summary: plasma membrane is supported as a context but is not the core VPS28 proteostasis function.

Summary: Macroautophagy is too broad for the VPS28 ESCRT-I autophagy role.
Reason: The direct VPS28-linked evidence concerns ESCRT-I helical assembly during phagophore/autophagosome closure, so GO:0000045 autophagosome assembly is the better term.

ACCEPT
Summary: protein transport to vacuole involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the multivesicular body sorting pathway is supported as part of the core ESCRT-I endosomal cargo-sorting role.

Summary: Macroautophagy is too broad for the VPS28 ESCRT-I autophagy role.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Negative regulation of protein ubiquitination is a broad over-annotation for VPS28.
Reason: The cited evidence is about VPS28/ESCRT-I occupancy limiting TSG101 access to a TSG101-associated ligase, not a general VPS28 ubiquitination-regulatory function.
Proposed replacements: ESCRT I complex
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18077552
VPS28 is a limiting factor

ACCEPT
Summary: endosome localization is supported and relevant to VPS28/ESCRT-I function.
Reason: VPS28 is a soluble ESCRT-I component that is recruited to endosomal membranes during cargo sorting and MVB-related ESCRT activity.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: cytosol localization is supported but broad and non-core.
Reason: VPS28 is predominantly cytosolic as a soluble ESCRT-I component before membrane recruitment, but the core proteostasis function is ESCRT-I activity at endosomal/phagophore membranes.

Summary: VPS28 should be annotated to autophagosome assembly for ESCRT-I-dependent phagophore closure.
Reason: VPS28 helical-interface mutations disrupt ESCRT-I filament assembly and cause an autophagosome closure defect; this is more precise than broad macroautophagy.

Core Functions

VPS28 is a structural/scaffold subunit of ESCRT-I that organizes the TSG101-VPS37-MVB12/UBAP ESCRT-I assembly for endosomal cargo sorting, MVB membrane remodeling, and ESCRT-I-dependent phagophore/autophagosome closure.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should VPS28 ubiquitin binding be retired or qualified because the primary evidence supports TSG101-mediated ubiquitin binding by the TSG101-VPS28 complex rather than direct VPS28 binding?

Suggested experts: GO molecular function editors, UniProt curators

Q: Should broad VPS28 macroautophagy annotations be replaced with GO:0000045 autophagosome assembly to capture ESCRT-I-dependent phagophore closure?

Suggested experts: GO autophagy editors, GO ESCRT curators

Q: Should viral budding, exosome, and plasma-membrane rows remain non-core in proteostasis-focused VPS28 curation?

Suggested experts: GO viral process editors, GO extracellular vesicle editors

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use endogenous VPS28 depletion/rescue with wild-type and helical-interface mutants, then measure HT-LC3 closure, ESCRT-I/ESCRT-III recruitment, and EGFR MVB sorting side by side.

Hypothesis: The VPS28 helical interface is required for ESCRT-I accumulation and phagophore closure without abolishing assembly of individual ESCRT-I tetramers.

Type: VPS28 separation-of-function autophagosome closure assay

Experiment: Compare purified VPS28, TSG101, and reconstituted ESCRT-I subcomplexes in quantitative ubiquitin-binding assays with matched positive and negative controls.

Hypothesis: VPS28 does not independently bind ubiquitin; ubiquitin recognition by VPS28-containing ESCRT-I depends on TSG101 or other subunits.

Type: direct ubiquitin-binding assay for purified VPS28
