| Annotation description: | rule: NAS_CPLX_2 rationale: The AP2 clathrin adapter is generally accepted to be a heterotetramer with subunit composition (AP2A1 OR AP2A2), AP2M1, AP2B1, AP2S1. Note that two gene paralogs are known for the alpha subunit (AP2A). Using an dominant negative peptide of the AP2B1 subunit the AP2 complex is shown to be involved in 'synaptic vesicle endocytosis (GO:0048488)'. Transfer of this annotation to the obligatory AP2M1 and AP2S1 subunits is trivial based on the established protein composition of the AP2 complex. P_ref BP: [human AP2B1] SynGO ID 2739 (PMID:11102472, EM) P_inf CC: [AP2M1_MOUSE] SynGO ID 3935(PMID:25211037, proteomics) Complex membership: AP2M1 protein is a fixed member of the AP2 clathrin adapter: - Shown in crystal structure (PMID:26960121, see Fig.1+2). Literal excerpt: "AP2 is a large (300kDa) heterotetrameric complex comprising large α and β2 subunits, a medium μ2 subunit and a small σ2 subunit." |
