The InterFeron-Induced TransMembrane proteins (IFITMs) are broad viral inhibitors that protect cells by preventing viral-to-cellular membrane fusion and they belong to the dispanin/CD225 family that includes vesicle trafficking regulators and proteins of unknown functions into four subfamilies (A-D). In this study, we uncover a novel domain that regulates the egress of IFITM3 from the Golgi and that is required to prevent IFITM3-driven v- to t-SNAREs membrane fusion inhibition and Golgi dysfunctions. The S-x-K-x-R-D domain is conserved among vertebrate members of the dispanin/CD225 A subfamily that regroups all IFITMs and through the study of mutations identified in patients affected by paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD), we determine that it is functionally conserved also in PRRT2, member of the B subfamily. Overall, our study defines a novel domain that regulates the egress of dispanin/CD225 members from the Golgi and stresses the importance that regulation of this process bears to preserve the functions of this apparatus.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
