CHMP4B
Charged multivesicular body protein 4b (Chromatin-modifying protein 4b) (CHMP4b) (SNF7 homolog associated with Alix 1) (SNF7-2) (hSnf7-2) (Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 32-2) (Vps32-2) (hVps32-2) Q9H444 FUNCTION: Probable core component of the endosomal sorting required for transport complex III (ESCRT-III) which is involved in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. MVBs contain intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome and mostly are delivered to lysosomes enabling degradation of membrane proteins, such as stimulated growth factor receptors, lysosomal enzymes and lipids. The MVB pathway appears to require the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complexes. ESCRT-III proteins mostly dissociate from the invaginating membrane before the ILV is released (, ). The ESCRT machinery also functions in topologically equivalent membrane fission events, such as the terminal stages of cytokinesis . Together with SPAST, the ESCRT-III complex promotes nuclear envelope sealing and mitotic spindle disassembly during late anaphase . Plays a role in the endosomal sorting pathway. ESCRT-III proteins are believed to mediate the necessary vesicle extrusion and/or membrane fission activities, possibly in conjunction with the AAA ATPase VPS4. When overexpressed, membrane-assembled circular arrays of CHMP4B filaments can promote or stabilize negative curvature and outward budding. CHMP4A/B/C are required for the exosomal release of SDCBP, CD63 and syndecan .
MPIG6B
Megakaryocyte and platelet inhibitory receptor G6b (Protein G6b) O95866 FUNCTION: Inhibitory receptor that acts as a critical regulator of hematopoietic lineage differentiation, megakaryocyte function and platelet production (, , ). Inhibits platelet aggregation and activation by agonists such as ADP and collagen-related peptide . This regulation of megakaryocate function as well as platelet production ann activation is done through the inhibition (via the 2 ITIM motifs) of the receptors CLEC1B and GP6:FcRgamma signaling . Appears to operate in a calcium-independent manner .
DENND5A
DENN domain-containing protein 5A (Rab6-interacting protein 1) (Rab6IP1) Q6IQ26 FUNCTION: Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) which may activate RAB6A and RAB39A and/or RAB39B. Promotes the exchange of GDP to GTP, converting inactive GDP-bound Rab proteins into their active GTP-bound form. Involved in the negative regulation of neurite outgrowth (By similarity).
FILIP1

FOXJ2
Forkhead box protein J2 (Fork head homologous X) Q9P0K8 FUNCTION: Transcriptional activator. Able to bind to two different type of DNA binding sites. Isoform FOXJ2.L behaves as a more potent transactivator than FOXJ2. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
FBXL2
F-box/LRR-repeat protein 2 (F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 2) (F-box protein FBL2/FBL3) Q9UKC9 FUNCTION: Calcium-activated substrate recognition component of the SCF (SKP1-cullin-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, SCF(FBXL2), which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Unlike many F-box proteins, FBXL2 does not seem to target phosphodegron within its substrates but rather calmodulin-binding motifs and is thereby antagonized by calmodulin. This is the case for the cyclins CCND2 and CCND3 which polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation are inhibited by calmodulin. Through CCND2 and CCND3 degradation induces cell-cycle arrest in G(0) (, ). SCF(FBXL2) also mediates PIK3R2 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation thereby regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling and autophagy . PCYT1A monoubiquitination by SCF(FBXL2) and subsequent degradation regulates synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, which is utilized for formation of membranes and of pulmonary surfactant (By similarity).
