Table 1.

The tyrosine-based sorting motifs of relevant transmembrane proteins

CD1a* TM-RKRCFC
CD1b TM-RRRSYQNIP
CD1c TM-KKHCSYQDIL
CD1d TM-KRQTSYQGVL
LAMP-1 TM-RKRSHAGYQTI
LAMP-2 TM-KHHHAGYEQF
CD63 TM-KSIRSGYEVM
M6PR TM-24aa-YKYSKV-135aa
Transferrin receptor 17aa-LSYTRF-45aa-TM

The sequences of the cytoplasmic tails are depicted for CD1a, CD1b, CD1c, and CD1d, lysosomal proteins LAMP1, LAMP2, and CD63, and early endosomal transferrin receptor, late endosomal CI mannose-6-phosphate receptor. TM denotes the transmembrane domain and the YXXØ motif is underlined. The tyrosine (Y) and the bulky hydrophobic residues are bold typed.

*

Note CD1a lacks the tyrosine motif.
