“…Chief among these is the conserved plasma membrane adapter protein complex, AP2 [57, 61-63]. AP2 consists of four subunits, termed α, β, µ, and σ, and exists in at least two functionally distinct structures, broadly termed the open/active and closed/inactive conformations [55, 57, 64-67]. Allosteric regulators of AP2 conformation include FCHo1/2, which promotes the open state of AP2 [68, 69], and NECAP1/2, which promotes the closed conformation [70].…”
