High impact information on VPS24

  • This protein is orthologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, Vps24p, a class-E vacuolar protein-sorting protein [1].
  • Identification of mammalian Vps24p as an effector of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate-dependent endosome compartmentalization [1].
  • We hypothesize that accumulation of Vps24 on membranes occurs when membrane association (dependent on interaction of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate with the N-terminal domain of the protein) is uncoupled from membrane disassociation (driven by Vps4p) [1].
  • In contrast the human genome encodes 10 homologous proteins (CHMP1A (approved gene symbol PCOLN3), 1B, 2A, 2B, 3 (approved gene symbol VPS24), 4A, 4B, 4C, 5, and 6) [2].
  • Aovps24, a homologue of VPS24, is required for vacuolar formation which could maintain proper growth and development in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae [3].
