Function

VPS4B_HUMAN Involved in late steps of the endosomal multivesicular bodies (MVB) pathway. Recognizes membrane-associated ESCRT-III assemblies and catalyzes their disassembly, possibly in combination with membrane fission. Redistributes the ESCRT-III components to the cytoplasm for further rounds of MVB sorting. MVBs contain intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome and mostly are delivered to lysosomes enabling degradation of membrane proteins, such as stimulated growth factor receptors, lysosomal enzymes and lipids. In conjunction with the ESCRT machinery also appears to function in topologically equivalent membrane fission events, such as the terminal stages of cytokinesis and enveloped virus budding (HIV-1 and other lentiviruses).[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The microtubule interacting and trafficking (MIT) domain is a small protein module of unknown function that is conserved in proteins of diverse function, such as Vps4, sorting nexin 15 (SNX15), and spastin. One non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism was reported, which results in a Ile58-to-Met (I58M) substitution in hVps4b. Here, we have determined the solution structure of the MIT domain isolated from the NH(2)-terminus of human Vps4b, an AAA-ATPase involved in multivesicular body formation. The MIT domain adopts an 'up-and-down' three-helix bundle. Comparison with the sequences of other MIT domains clearly shows that the residues involved in inter-helical contacts are well conserved. The Ile58-to-Met substitution resulted a substantial thermal instability. In addition, we found a shallow crevice between helices A and C that may serve as a protein-binding site. We propose that the MIT domain serves as a putative adaptor domain for the ESCRT-III complex involved in endosomal trafficking.
