Adaptins are important components of clathrin-coated vesicles transporting ligand-receptor complexes from the plasma membrane or from the trans-Golgi network to lysosomes. Adaptins, together with medium and small subunits, form a heterotetrameric complex called an adaptor, whose role is to promote the formation of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles. We present the cloning and sequencing of the human gamma-adaptin cDNA (HGMW-approved symbol ADTG) consisting of 3723 bp with an open reading frame capable of encoding a protein of 825 amino acids, 98.9% identical to the mouse protein. Northern blot analysis of the mouse and human gamma-adaptin genes revealed a ubiquitous and abundant expression, except in human adult lung. Using a monochromosomal somatic cell hybrid panel and fluorescence in situ hybridization, we mapped this gene to human chromosome 16q23, which is syntenic with mouse chromosome 8, band D. In addition, we localized genes for two other components of the AP-1 adaptor, i.e., the medium (AP47) and small (AP19) subunits, to chromosomes 19 and 7, respectively. Expression analysis of these genes in human tissues revealed ubiquitously expressed transcripts of approximately 2.5 and 1.5 kb, respectively.

Mutations in the endosomal Na+/H+ exchanger 6 (NHE6) cause Christianson syndrome, an X-linked neurological disorder. NHE6 functions in regulation of endosome acidification and maturation in neurons. Using yeast two-hybrid screening with the NHE6 carboxyl terminus as bait, we identify Golgi-associated, gamma adaptin ear-containing, ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) binding protein 1 (GGA1) as an interacting partner for NHE6.

Selective retrograde transport from endosomes back to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) is important for maintaining protein homeostasis, recycling receptors, and returning molecules that were transported to the wrong compartments. Two important transmembrane proteins directed to this pathway are the Cation-Independent Mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) and the ATP7B copper transporter. Among CI-MPR functions is the delivery of acid hydrolases to lysosomes, while ATP7B facilitates the transport of cytosolic copper ions into organelles or the extracellular space.

Background: γ1-Adaptin is a subunit of adaptor protein complex-1 (AP-1), which regulates intracellular transport between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. Since expression levels of AP-1 subunits have been reported to be associated with cell proliferation and cancer malignancy, we investigated the relationships between the immunohistochemical expression of γ1-adaptin and both clinicopathological factors and relapse-free survival (RFS) in breast cancer tissue.
Materials And Methods: SK-BR-3 cell line depleted of γ1-adaptin was used for cell proliferation, migration, and invasion assay.

Article Synopsis
- PACS1-neurodevelopmental disorder (PACS1-NDD) is linked to a specific genetic variation, Arg203, which causes a type of intellectual disability due to its effect on PACS1 protein's client protein interactions.
- Researchers hypothesize that other PACS1 variants that disrupt binding to adaptor proteins could also lead to similar intellectual disabilities.
- A novel PACS1 variant (Ser252Phe) was identified in a mother-daughter pair, which may impair binding to an adaptor protein (GGA3), suggesting it could contribute to PACS1-NDD-like symptoms and enhancing understanding of how PACS1 variations cause intellectual disabilities.
