Selective cargo and membrane recognition by SNX17 regulates its interaction with Retriever.

ABSTRACT: The Retriever complex recycles a wide range of transmembrane proteins from endosomes to the plasma membrane. The cargo adapter protein SNX17 has been implicated in recruiting the Retriever complex to endosomal membranes, yet the details of this interaction have remained elusive. Through biophysical and structural model-guided mutagenesis studies with recombinant proteins and liposomes, we have gained a deeper understanding of this process. Here, we demonstrate a direct interaction between SNX17 and Retriever, specifically between the C-terminal region of SNX17 and the interface of the Retriever subunits VPS35L and VPS26C. This interaction is enhanced upon the binding of SNX17 to its cargo in solution, due to the disruption of an intramolecular autoinhibitory interaction between the C-termi
