Also known as MU-ARP2MU-4SPG50
Summary
AP4M1 (adaptor related protein complex 4 subunit mu 1, HGNC:574) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q22.1, encoding AP-4 complex subunit mu-1 (O00189). Component of the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4).
This gene encodes a subunit of the heterotetrameric AP-4 complex. The encoded protein belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunits family. This AP-4 complex is involved in the recognition and sorting of cargo proteins with tyrosine-based motifs from the trans-golgi network to the endosomal-lysosomal system.

Function. Component of the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4). Adaptor protein complexes are vesicle coat components involved both in vesicle formation and cargo selection. They control the vesicular transport of proteins in different trafficking pathways. AP-4 forms a non clathrin-associated coat on vesicles departing the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and may be involved in the targeting of proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endosomal-lysosomal system. It is also involved in protein sorting to the basolateral membrane in epithelial cells and the proper asymmetric localization of somatodendritic proteins in neurons. Within AP-4, the mu-type subunit AP4M1 is directly involved in the recognition and binding of tyrosine-based sorting signals found in the cytoplasmic part of cargos. The adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4) may also recognize other types of sorting signal.
Subunit / interactions. Adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4) is a heterotetramer composed of two large adaptins (epsilon-type subunit AP4E1 and beta-type subunit AP4B1), a medium adaptin (mu-type subunit AP4M1) and a small adaptin (sigma-type AP4S1). Interacts with tyrosine-based sorting signals on the cytoplasmic tail of cargo proteins such as APP, ATG9A, LAMP2 and NAGPA. Interacts with the C-terminal domain of GRID2. Interacts with GRIA1 and GRIA2; the interaction is indirect via CACNG3. Interacts with CACNG3; CACNG3 associates GRIA1 and GRIA2 with the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4) to target them to the somatodendritic compartment of neurons. Interacts with HOOK1 and HOOK2; the interactions are direct, mediate the interaction between FTS-Hook-FHIP (FHF) complex and AP-4 and the perinuclear distribution of AP-4.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus. trans-Golgi network membrane. Early endosome.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in testis and lowly expressed in brain and lung.
Disease relevance. Spastic paraplegia 50, autosomal recessive (SPG50) [MIM:612936] A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG50 affected individuals present postnatally with early infantile hypotonia, delayed psychomotor development, strabismus, lack of independent walking and severe intellectual disability. They develop progressive spasticity of all limbs with generalized hypertonia, hyperreflexia, and extensor plantar responses by the end of the first year of life. Speech is absent or limited. Pseudobulbar signs, such as drooling, stereotypic laughter, and exaggerated jaw jerk, are part of the clinical picture. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunit family.
