Abstract excerpt
Among the distinct adaptor protein (AP) complexes, AP-4 primarily functions as a non-clathrin-coated vesicle machinery essential for intracellular membrane trafficking. ARF1 is a master regulator of AP-4 membrane recruitment, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of soluble AP-4 and the AP-4/ARF1 complex. Unexpectedly, AP-4 adopts a dynamic equilibrium between...
