Abstrakt: Vesicles bud from maturing Golgi cisternae in a programmed sequence. Budding is mediated by adaptors that recruit cargoes and facilitate vesicle biogenesis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the AP-3 adaptor complex directs cargoes from the Golgi to the lysosomal vacuole. The AP-3 core consists of small and medium subunits complexed with two non-identical large subunits, ß3 (Apl6) and d (Apl5). The C-termini of ß3 and d were thought to be flexible hinges linking the core to ear domains that bind accessory proteins involved in vesicular transport. We found by computational modeling that the yeast ß3 and d hinges are intrinsically disordered and lack folded ear domains. When either hinge is truncated, AP-3 is recruited to the Golgi, but vesicle budding is impaired and cargoes normally sorted into the AP-3 pathway are mistargeted. This budding deficiency causes AP-3 to accumulate on ring-like Golgi structures adjacent to GGA adaptors that, in wild-type cells, bud vesicles downstream of AP-3 during Golgi maturation. Thus, each of the disordered hinges of yeast AP-3 has a crucial role in mediating transport vesicle formation at the Golgi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
