Functional characterization of endocytic signals in the SynDIG/PRRT family members SynDIG1 and SynDIG4 in heterologous cells and neurons by David J. Speca, Chun-Wei He, Christina M. Meyer, Erin C. Scott, Erin C. Scott, Elva Díaz

This motif appears critical for proper SynDIG4 internalization, as SynDIG4 mutant 178-AVPA-181, which disrupts binding to μ2, induces aberrant SynDIG4 accumulation at the plasma-membrane of heterologous cells and primary rat hippocampal neurons. …”
