canonical GAT domain found in target of Myb-like protein 2 (Tom1L2); Tom1L2, together with Myb protein 1 (Tom1) and target of Myb-like protein 1 (Tom1L1), constitute the Tom1 family. Tom1L2 can interact with Toll-interacting protein (Tollip), clathrin, and ubiquitin. It may play a potential role in endosomal sorting, as well as in the regulation of membrane trafficking that is linked to immunity and cell proliferation. Tom1L2 contains an N-terminal VHS (Vps27p/Hrs/STAM)-domain, a GAT (GGA and TOM1) domain, and a C-terminal clathrin-binding region, both of which are conserved in Golgi-localized gamma ear-containing Arf-binding proteins (GGAs). It interacts with Tollip through their GAT domain and recuits clathrin onto endosomes through their C-terminal region. However, in the C-terminal clathrin-binding region, Tom1 and Tom1L2 are similar to each other, but distinguishable from Tom1L1. The canonical GAT domain is a monomeric three-helix bundle that binds ubiquitin.

VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain of Target of Myb protein 1; Tom1 (Target of myb1 - retroviral oncogene) is a novel negative regulator of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-induced signaling pathways. It also plays important roles in protein-degradation systems in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Tom1 contains VHS and GAT domains in the N-terminal and central region, respectively. The VHS domain has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of the ARM repeats and is present at the very N-termini of proteins. It is a right-handed superhelix of eight alpha helices. The VHS domain has been found in a number of proteins, some of which have been implicated in intracellular trafficking and sorting. The VHS domain of Tom1 is essential for its function as a negative regulator.

VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain family; The VHS domain is present in Vps27 (Vacuolar Protein Sorting), Hrs (Hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) and STAM (Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecule). It has a superhelical structure similar to that of the ARM (Armadillo) repeats and is present at the N-termini of proteins involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. There are four general groups of VHS domain containing proteins based on their association with other domains. The first group consists of proteins of the STAM/EAST/Hbp family, which has the domain composition of VHS-SH3-ITAM. The second consists of proteins with a FYVE domain C-terminal to VHS. The third consists of GGA proteins with a domain composition of VHS-GAT (GGA and TOM)-GAE (Gamma-Adaptin Ear) domain. The fourth consists of proteins with a VHS domain alone or with domains other than those mentioned above. In GGA proteins, VHS domains are involved in cargo recognition in trans-Golgi, thereby having a general membrane targeting/cargo recognition role in vesicular trafficking.

canonical GAT domain found in target of Myb protein 1 (Tom1); Tom1 was originally identified by its induced expression by the v-Myb oncogene. It is predominantly present in the cytosol and can interact with clathrin, endofin, Toll-interacting protein (Tollip), and ubiquitinated proteins. It acts as a linker protein to regulate the ability of endofin to recruit clathrin onto the sorting endosome. Moreover, Tom1 functions as a negative regulator of IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced signaling pathways. It also plays a role in the TLR2/4 signaling pathways. Tom1 contains an N-terminal VHS (Vps27p/Hrs/STAM)-domain, a GAT (GGA and TOM1) domain and a C-terminal clathrin-binding region, both of which are conserved in Golgi-localized gamma ear-containing Arf-binding proteins (GGAs). In contrast to GGAs, Tom1 binds to ubiquitin, ubiquitinated proteins, and Tollip through its GAT domain, but does not associate with Arf GTPases through its GAT domain nor with acidic cluster-dileucine sequences through its VHS domain. The canonical GAT domain is a monomeric three-helix bundle that binds ubiquitin.

VHS, ENTH and ANTH domain superfamily; This superfamily is composed of proteins containing a VHS, CID, ENTH, or ANTH domain. The VHS domain is present in Vps27 (Vacuolar Protein Sorting), Hrs (Hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) and STAM (Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecule). It is located at the N-termini of proteins involved in intracellular membrane trafficking. The CTD-Interacting Domain (CID) is present in several RNA-processing factors and binds tightly to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II or Pol II). The epsin N-terminal homology (ENTH) domain is an evolutionarily conserved protein module found primarily in proteins that participate in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. A set of proteins previously designated as harboring an ENTH domain in fact contains a highly similar, yet unique module referred to as an AP180 N-Terminal Homology (ANTH) domain. VHS, ENTH, and ANTH domains are structurally similar and are composed of a superhelix of eight alpha helices. ENTH and ANTH (E/ANTH) domains bind both inositol phospholipids and proteins and contribute to the nucleation and formation of clathrin coats on membranes. ENTH domains also function in the development of membrane curvature through lipid remodeling during the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles. E/ANTH domain-bearing proteins have recently been shown to function with adaptor protein-1 and GGA adaptors at the Trans-Golgi Network, which suggests that E/ANTH domains are universal components of the machinery for clathrin-mediated membrane budding.

VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain of the STAM (Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecule) subfamily; STAM (Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecule) subfamily members have at their N-termini a VHS domain, which is involved in cytokine-mediated intracellular signal transduction and has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of ARM (Armadillo) repeats, followed by a Ubiquitin-Interacting Motif (UIM) and a SH3 (Src Homology 3) domain, which is a well-established protein-protein interaction domain, and a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain. At the C-termini of most vertebrate STAMs, an Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motif (ITAM) is present, which mediates the binding of HRS (hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) in endocytic and exocytic machineries. STAM is a component of the ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport)-0 machinery and together with Hrs, functions to bind and sequester cargoes for downstream sorting into intralumenal vesicles. Jawed vertebrates have two STAM subfamily members, STAM1 and STAM2.

VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain of Class E vacuolar protein-sorting machinery protein HSE1; Class E vacuolar protein-sorting machinery protein HSE1, together with Vps27, comprise the ESCRT-0 complex, the sorting receptor for ubiquitinated cargo proteins at the multivesicular body (MVB). The complex directly binds to ubiquitinated transmembrane proteins and recruits both ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes. It is also required the efficient recycling of late Golgi proteins including the carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) sorting receptor, Vps10. Similar to metazoan STAMs, HSE1 contain: an N-terminal VHS domain, which is involved in cytokine-mediated intracellular signal transduction and has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of ARM (Armadillo) repeats; a Ubiquitin-Interacting Motif (UIM); a SH3 (Src Homology 3) domain, a well-established protein-protein interaction domain; and a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain, which is essential for the normal sorting function of HSE1.

VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain of metazoan GGA (Golgi-localized, Gamma-ear-containing, Arf-binding) proteins; GGA (Golgi-localized, Gamma-ear-containing, Arf-binding) comprises a subfamily of ubiquitously expressed, monomeric, motif-binding cargo/clathrin adaptor proteins involved in membrane trafficking between the Trans-Golgi Network (TGN) and endosomes. Jawed vertebrates contain as many as three GGA proteins: GGA1, GGA2, and GGA3. The VHS domain has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of the ARM (Armadillo) repeats and is present at the N-termini of proteins. GGA proteins have a multidomain structure consisting of an N-terminal VHS domain linked by a short proline-rich linker to a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain, which is followed by a long flexible linker to the C-terminal appendage, GAE (Gamma-Adaptin Ear) domain. The VHS domain of GGA proteins binds to the acidic-cluster dileucine (DxxLL) motif found on the cytoplasmic tails of cargo proteins trafficked between the Trans-Golgi Network and the endosomal system.

VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain of fungal GGA (Golgi-localized, Gamma-ear-containing, Arf-binding) proteins; GGA (Golgi-localized, Gamma-ear-containing, Arf-binding) comprises a subfamily of ubiquitously expressed, monomeric, motif-binding cargo/clathrin adaptor proteins involved in membrane trafficking between the Trans-Golgi Network (TGN) and endosomes. Yeast GGAs facilitate the specific and direct delivery of vacuolar sorting receptor Vps10p and the processing protease Kex2p from the TGN to the late endosome/prevacuolar compartment (PVC). The VHS domain has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of the ARM (Armadillo) repeats and is present at the N-termini of proteins. GGA proteins have a multidomain structure consisting of an N-terminal VHS domain linked by a short proline-rich linker to a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain, which is followed by a long flexible linker to the C-terminal appendage, GAE (Gamma-Adaptin Ear) domain. The VHS domain of GGA proteins binds to the acidic-cluster dileucine (DxxLL) motif found on the cytoplasmic tails of cargo proteins trafficked between the Trans-Golgi Network and the endosomal system.

GAT domain found in eukaryotic GGAs, metazoan Tom1-like proteins, metazoan STAMs, fungal Vps27, and similar proteins; The GAT (GGA and Tom1) domain superfamily includes the canonical GAT domain found in ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf)-binding proteins (GGAs) from eukaryotes, myb protein 1 (Tom1)-like proteins from metazoa, and LAS seventeen-binding protein 5 (Lsb5p)-like proteins from fungi. The canonical GAT domain is a monomeric three-helix bundle that binds ubiquitin. GGAs, also called Golgi-localized gamma-ear-containing Arf-binding proteins, belong to a family of ubiquitously expressed, monomeric, motif-binding cargo/clathrin adaptor proteins that regulate clathrin-mediated trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to endosomes. GGAs play important roles in ubiquitin-dependent sorting of cargo proteins both in biosynthetic and endocytic pathways. Tom1 and its related proteins, Tom1L1 and Tom1L2, form a protein family sharing an N-terminal VHS-domain followed by a GAT domain. Tom1 family proteins bind to ubiquitin, ubiquitinated proteins, and Toll-interacting protein (Tollip) through its GAT domain. They do not associate with either Arf GTPases through its GAT domain nor with acidic cluster-dileucine sequences through its VHS domain. The GAT domain superfamily also includes the non-canonical GAT domain found in several components of the ESCRT-0 complex, including signal transducing adapter molecules (STAMs) and hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (Hrs) from metazoa, as well as vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 27 (Vps27) and class E vacuolar protein-sorting machinery protein Hse1 from fungi. Hrs, together with STAM, forms a Hrs/STAM core complex. Vps27, together with Hse1, forms a Vps27/Hse1 core complex. Those complexes consist of two intertwined GAT domains, each consisting of two helices from one subunit, and one from the other subunit. The intertwined GAT heterodimer acts as a scaffold for binding of ubiquitinated cargo proteins and coordinating ubiquitination and deubiquitination reactions that regulate sorting.

canonical GAT domain found in metazoan ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf)-binding proteins (GGAs); GGAs, also called Golgi-localized gamma-ear-containing Arf-binding proteins, belong to a family of ubiquitously expressed, monomeric, motif-binding cargo/clathrin adaptor proteins that regulate clathrin-mediated trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to endosomes. Moreover, GGAs play important roles in ubiquitin-dependent sorting of cargo proteins both in biosynthetic and endocytic pathways. Three GGAs (GGA1, GGA2, and GGA3) have been identified in mammals. They may appear to behave similarly, since all of them have a multidomain structure consisting of: an N-terminal VHS (Vps27/Hrs/Stam) domain that binds the acidic-cluster dileucine (DxxLL)-type sorting signals (where x is any amino acid) found in the cytoplasmic tail of TGN sorting receptors; a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain that interacts with class I GTP-bound form of Arf proteins, Rabaptin-5, ubiquitin, and the tumor susceptibility gene 101 product (TSG101); a largely unstructured hinge region that contains clathrin-binding motifs; and a C-terminal GAE (gamma-adaptin ear homology) domain that binds accessory proteins. However, the three GGAs have some differences, which suggest they may possess their own distinct roles. For instance, both GGA1 and GGA3, but not GGA2, contains an internal DxxLL motif that binds to it own VHS domain. Only a portion of the VHS domain of GGA2 possesses distant structural homology to that of GGA1 or GGA3. Moreover, the binding affinity of GGA2 to ubiquitin is quite lower than that of GGA1 or GGA3. In addition, GGA3 has a short splicing variant that is predominantly expressed in human cell lines and tissues except the brain. It does have a VHS domain, but it is unable to bind to the DxxLL motif. GGA2 and GGA3 undergo epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced phosphorylation.

canonical GAT domain found in fungal ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf)-binding proteins (GGAs); GGAs, also called Golgi-localized gamma-ear-containing Arf-binding proteins, belong to a family of ubiquitously expressed, monomeric, motif-binding cargo/clathrin adaptor proteins that regulate clathrin-mediated trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to endosomes. Two GGAs (Gga1p and Gga2p) have been identified in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast GGAs play important roles in the carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) pathway, vacuole biogenesis, alpha-factor maturation, and interactions with clathrin. They have a multidomain structure consisting of VHS (Vps27/Hrs/ STAM), GAT (GGA and TOM), hinge, and GAE (gamma-adaptin ear) domains. Both Gga1p and Gga2p function as effectors of Arf in yeast. They interact with Arf1p and Arf2p in a GTP-dependent manner. Moreover, Gga2p mediates sequential ubiquitin-independent and ubiquitin-dependent steps in the trafficking of ARN1, a ferrichrome transporter in S. cerevisiae, from the TGN to the vacuole. It also acts as a phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate effector at the Golgi exit, which binds directly to the TGN PtdIns(4)-kinase Pik1p and contributes to Pik1p recruitment. In addition, Gga2p is required for sorting of the yeast siderophore iron transporter1 (Sit1) to the vacuolar pathway. The GAT domain of GGAs interacts with class I GTP-bound form of Arf proteins, Rabaptin-5, ubiquitin, and/or the tumor susceptibility gene 101 product (TSG101).

canonical GAT domain found in ADP-ribosylation factor-binding protein GGA3; GGA3, also called Golgi-localized gamma ear-containing Arf-binding protein 3, belongs to a family of ubiquitously expressed, monomeric, motif-binding cargo/clathrin adaptor proteins that regulate clathrin-mediated trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to endosomes. GGA3 interacts selectively with the Met/Hepatocyte Growth Factor receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) when stimulated. It functions as a specific cargo adaptor to target the Met RTK into recycling tubules, and further coordinates the recycling, signaling and degradative fates of the Met RTK. Moreover, GGA3, together with PACS-1 and the protein kinase CK2, forms a complex that regulates cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) trafficking. Furthermore, GGA3 has been identified as an interacting protein of the beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1), a stress-related protease that is involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. GGA3 has a multidomain structure consisting of an N-terminal VHS (Vps27/Hrs/Stam) domain, a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain, a largely unstructured hinge region that contains clathrin-binding motifs, and a C-terminal GAE (gamma-adaptin ear homology) domain. The GAT domain of GGAs interacts with class I GTP-bound form of Arf proteins, Rabaptin-5, ubiquitin, and/or the tumor susceptibility gene 101 product (TSG101).

canonical GAT domain found in yeast LAS seventeen-binding protein 5 (Lsb5p) and similar proteins; Lsb5p, also called LAS17-binding protein 5, is a Golgi-localized gamma ear-containing Arf-binding protein (GGA)-like protein located to the plasma membrane in an actin-independent manner. It plays important roles in membrane-trafficking events through association with the actin regulators, the yeast Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) homologue Las17p and the cortical protein Sla1p, the yeast Arf3p (orthologous with mammalian Arf6), and ubiquitin. Lsb5p contains an N-terminal VHS (Vps27p/Hrs/STAM)-domain and a GAT (GGA and TOM1) domain. In contrast to GGA proteins, Lsb5p harbors a C-terminal NPF (Asn-Pro-Phe) motif, but does not have either a GAE (gamma-adaptin ear homology) domain or a clathrin-binding motif. The canonical GAT domain is a monomeric three-helix bundle that binds ubiquitin.
