“…AP complexes are composed of four adaptin subunits: two large subunits of around 100 kD, one a-type subunit (g, a, d, or «) that mediates membrane binding and one b-subunit that interacts with clathrin; one medium (m) subunit, of around 50 kD, that recognizes sorting signals in cargo proteins; and a small s-subunit of unknown function (Boehm and Bonifacino, 2001). Several clathrin adaptors have been shown to mediate basolateral polarity in epithelial cells and neurons, including AP-1A, AP-1B, and AP-4 (Gravotta et al, 2012;Bonifacino, 2014;Guo et al, 2014). The Arabidopsis genome encodes subunits of four types of putative AP complexes (AP-1 to AP-4), including five medium subunits, named mA (m2), mB1 (m1-1), mB2 (m1-2), mC (m4), and mD (m3).…”
