Product Specs

Introduction
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 4B (VPS4B) is a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family. It plays a role in the final stages of the endosomal multivesicular bodies (MVB) pathway. VPS4B interacts with membrane-bound ESCRT-III complexes and facilitates their disassembly, likely in conjunction with membrane fission. Dominant negative mutations of VPS4B hinder vacuolar protein sorting and also interfere with HIV-1 and MLV budding.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The VPS4B gene is located on chromosome 18 at band 18q21.33 . The gene encodes a protein that consists of 444 amino acids . VPS4B shares a high degree of amino acid sequence similarity with its paralog, VPS4A, and with the yeast Vps4 and mouse Skd1 proteins .

Function

VPS4B plays a crucial role in the late steps of the endosomal multivesicular bodies (MVB) pathway. It recognizes membrane-associated ESCRT-III assemblies and catalyzes their ATP-dependent disassembly, possibly in combination with membrane fission . This process is essential for the redistribution of ESCRT-III components to the cytoplasm for further rounds of MVB sorting .

Biological Processes

VPS4B is involved in various biological processes, including:

  • Endosomal microautophagy
  • Regulation of centrosome duplication
  • Protein depolymerization
  • Viral budding via host ESCRT complex
  • Cholesterol transport
  • Negative regulation of exosomal secretion
  • Multivesicular body assembly
  • Regulation of mitotic spindle assembly
  • Cell division
  • Endosomal transport
  • Response to lipid
  • Ubiquitin-independent protein catabolic process via the multivesicular body sorting pathway
  • Positive regulation of G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle
  • Positive regulation of exosomal secretion
  • Septum digestion after cytokinesis
  • Mitotic metaphase plate congression
  • Endosome to lysosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway
  • Cell cycle
  • ESCRT III complex disassembly
  • Macroautophagy
  • Transport
  • Positive regulation of viral process
  • Vacuole organization
  • Midbody abscission .
Clinical Significance

Mutations or dysregulation of the VPS4B gene have been associated with various diseases, including Dentin Dysplasia, Type I . The protein’s involvement in critical cellular processes makes it a significant target for research in understanding and potentially treating these conditions.

Research and Applications

Human recombinant VPS4B is used in various research applications to study its function and role in cellular processes. It is particularly valuable in understanding the mechanisms of intracellular protein trafficking and the endosomal sorting pathway.
