General description

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein VTA1 homolog (UniProt: Q9NP79; also known as Dopamine-responsive gene 1 protein; DRG-1; LYST-interacting protein 5; LIP5; SKD1-binding protein 1; SBP1) is encoded by the VTA1 (also known as C6orf55; HSPC228; My012) gene (Gene ID 51534) in human. LIP5 is a 33.9 kDa protein involved in trafficking of the multi-vesicular body. It helps regulate the membrane fission and recycling activities of the ESCRT pathway. It performs its central regulatory function within the ESCRT pathway by binding ESCRT-III proteins through its N-terminal tandem microtubule-interacting and trafficking (MIT) domain and by binding VPS4 ATPases through its C-terminal VSL (Vta1/SBP1/LIP5) domain. These interactions allow LIP5 to coordinate ESCRT-III and VPS4 activities both during normal cellular homeostasis and also in response to interferon signaling during innate immune responses. The ESCRT-III and VPS4 ATPase complexes catalyze the membrane fission events associated with these processes. The LIP5 protein helps regulate their interactions by binding directly to a subset of ESCRT-III proteins and to VPS4.
