摘要:

网格蛋白介导的胞吞途径(clathrin-mediated endocytosis, CME)是真核细胞质膜蛋白进行胞吞的主要途径之一,在植物生长发育、营养吸收、胞内外信号转导、生长素极性运输和逆境响应中具有不可或缺的生物学功能。尽管网格蛋白为CME过程的核心蛋白,但其本身不含跨膜结构域,需要接头蛋白将其招募至质膜。已知动植物细胞中网格蛋白质膜招募主要依赖于接头蛋白复合体AP-2,但随着对植物接头蛋白复合体的深入研究,发现植物中还存在一类进化上比较古老的接头蛋白复合体TPC(TPLATE complex),且在植物的生长发育和CME过程中扮演重要角色。本文介绍了植物TPC的组成、结构和进化历程,分析了TPC亚基的结构域,综述了TPC的生物学功能,最后对TPC在植物胞吞作用和生长发育的研究进行了展望,以期为了解和阐明植物TPC在胞吞运输的分子机制提供新的思路和见解。

Abstract:

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is a predominant endocytic pathway for plasma membrane (PM) protein internalization in eukaryotic cells. In plants, CME is essential for growth and developmental processes, nutrient uptake, transduction between extra- and intra-cellular signals, polar auxin transport, and stress responses. Although clathrin is the core protein of the CME process, it lacks a transmembrane domain and relies on adaptor proteins to be recruited to the PM. It is known that the PM recruitment of clathrin mainly depends on the adaptor protein complex AP-2 in animal and plant cells. However, an increasing number of evidences on plant adaptor protein complexes show that there is also an evolutionary ancient adaptor protein complex TPC (TPLATE complex) in plants, which plays a critical role in plant growth and development as well as CME processes. In this review, we briefly introduce the composition, structure, and evolutionary history of TPC in plants. Then we analyze the domains of TPC subunits. Furthermore, we summarize the biological functions of TPC. Finally, we prospect the research on TPC in plant endocytosis and growth and development, aiming to provide new ideas and insights for understanding and clarifying the molecular mechanism of plant TPC in endocytic transport.
