RESUMO
The CD3-epsilon endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention motif has been characterized by mutagenesis and NMR spectroscopy. Tyr177, Leu180 and Arg183 are involved in ER retention. The motif forms an elongated alpha-helix in which the tyrosine and leucine residues are closely apposed, followed by a beta I' turn that places Arg183 in the vicinity of Leu180. The structure formed by Tyr177 and the leucine in position +3 is reminiscent of the beta-turn structure adopted by tyrosine-containing endocytosis signals. Moreover, substitution of the transferrin receptor (TfR) internalization sequence by the CD3-epsilon motif still allowed the rapid internalization of the TfR and, conversely, the chimeric protein resulting from the substitution of the CD3-epsilon motif by the endocytosis signal of the low density lipoprotein receptor was ER located. These data support the idea of a functional homology between the two types of signal.
