- Abstract
Vesicular transport driven by membrane trafficking systems conserved in eukaryotes is critical to cellular functionality and homeostasis. It is known that homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS) and class C core endosomal vacuole tethering (CORVET) interact with Rab-GTPases and SNARE proteins to regulate vesicle transport, fusion, and maturation in autophagy and endocytosis pathways. In this study, we identified two novel "Hybrid" tethering complexes in mammalian cells in which one of the subunits of HOPS or CORVET is replaced with the subunit from the other. Substrates taken up by receptor-mediated endocytosis or pinocytosis were transported by distinctive pathways, and the newly identified hybrid complexes contributed to pinocytosis in the presence of HOPS, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis was exclusively dependent on HOPS. Our study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of the endocytic pathway and the function of the vacuolar protein sorting-associated (VPS) protein family.
