motifs/domains
  • proline-rich domain
  • DNA binding motifs
  • a coiled-coil domain
  • Pro-rich regions that are bound by PDCD6 Ca2+-dependently (Okumura 2009)
  • putative dominant negative ubiquitin regulator with alternatively spliced isoforms (an isoform of 17kDa TSG101B without the C terminal leucine zipper, detected in Burkitt lymphoma)
  • C-terminal lysines are targets for polyubiquitination, but they are not required for any additional function necessary for ESCRT activity (McDonald 2008), and C-terminal steadiness box (SB) involved in the repression of CDKN1A promoter activity
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine tumor susceptibility gene 101 (Tsg101)
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in cell cycle regulation
  • transcriptional suppressor for ESRR and other nuclear hormone receptors
  • playing a crucial role for cell proliferation and cell survival
  • activating androgen receptor-induced transcription by transient stabilization of the monoubiquitinated state (novel regulatory mechanism for nuclear receptors)
  • function at the endosome to help sort membrane proteins into vesicles that bud into the lumen to create multivesicular bodies
  • regulates vesicular trafficking processes (Amit 2004)
  • essential for endosomal sorting, membrane receptor degradation and the final stages of cytokinesis (McDonald 2008)
  • is one of the cellular proteins involved in the budding process of HIV-1, and plays an important role in the cellular vacuolar protein sorting (Vps) pathway
  • essential ESCRT component, that is central to endosomal sorting
  • is recruited by a late domain of the nucleocapsid protein to support budding of Marburg virus-like particles
  • may play a biological role through modulation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in breast cancer
  • is involved in numerous cellular processes, including apoptotic resistance
  • RAB7A and TSG101 are required for the constitutive recycling of unliganded EGFRs via distinct mechanisms
  • multi-domain protein known to act in the cell nucleus, cytoplasm, and periplasmic membrane
  • its functions additionally are recruited for viral and microvesicle budding and for intracellular survival of invading bacteria
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle
    cell life, proliferation/growth
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • complexing with DAXX through its coiled-coil domain and co-localized in the nucleus
  • functions as a subunit of the heterotetrameric ESCRT-I complex (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport-I), together with two other MVB (multivesicular body) pathway proteins: VPS28, VPS37B
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • DAXX
  • interacting with AATF (functioning as cooperative coactivators in androgen receptor-mediated transcription)
  • with three proteins involved in cytokinesis, CD2AP, ROCK1, and IQGAP
  • interacting with PDCD6IP (Ca2+-loaded PDCD6 bridges PDCD6IP and TSG101 as an adaptor protein) (Okumura 2009)
  • is a novel RAB11FIP4-binding protein, which we find can also bind RAB11FIP3
  • specific interaction of TSG101 with a tetrapeptide PSAP motif of ARRDC1, which is localized to the plasma membrane through its arrestin domain
  • UBAP1, a subunit of human ESCRT-I, coassembles in a stable 1:1:1:1 complex with TSG101, VPS28, and VPS37A
  • LITAF interacted and colocalized with endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) components STAM1, HGS, and TSG101 on early endosomes and functioned with the ESCRT machinery in the control of endosome-to-lysosome trafficking
  • interacts with and down-regulates the promoter of CDKN1A tumor suppressor gene
  • genetic interaction of BBS1 and BBS4 with the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) gene TSG101 and accumulation of receptor in late endosomes, reduced endosomal recycling and reduced receptor degradation in lysosomes
  • BLOC1S1 interacted with SNX2 (a retromer subunit) and TSG101 (an endosomal sorting complex required for transport subunit-I) to mediate EGFR lysosomal trafficking
  • LRSAM1 is a regulator of TSG101 expression
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other regulated by LRSAM1 (polyubiquitinates lysine residues in the C-terminus of uncomplexed TSG101, resulting in proteasomal degradation) (McDonald 2008)
