Abstract
We describe the cloning, expression, and localization of gamma2-adaptin, a novel isoform of gamma-adaptin. The predicted human and mouse gamma2-adaptin proteins are approximately 90 kDa and 64.4% and 61.7%) identical to gamma-adaptin, respectively. gamma2-Adaptin was localized to the Golgi, its localization distinct from gamma-adaptin. The membrane association of gamma- and gamma2-adaptin could further be distinguished by differential sensitivity to the fungal metabolite brefeldin A, gamma2-adaptin binding being insensitive to drug treatment. Together, these results suggest that gamma2-adaptin plays a role in membrane transport distinct from that played by gamma-adaptin.Entities:
