Term Name: retromer, tubulation complex Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • heterodimeric membrane-deforming retromer subcomplex
  • retromer complex, outer shell
  • SNX-BAR dimer
Definition: The dimeric subcomplex of the retromer, believed to be peripherally associated with the membrane. This dimeric complex is responsible for remodeling endosomal membranes to form a tube-structure to which cargo molecules are selected for recycling. The budding yeast complex comprises Vps5p and Vps17p, and may contain multiple copies of a Vps5p/Vps17p dimer. The mammalian complex contains SNX1 or SNX2 dimerized with SNX5 or SNX6. (2)
