Gene Summary
APPL-interacting protein 1 (Aplip1) encodes a scaffolding protein that can bind to several proteins such as Klc, Appl, and hep. Aplip1 can link Khc to vesicles and has roles in fast axonal transport that are important for neuron structure and function. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Snapshot
APPL-interacting protein 1 (Aplip1) encodes a scaffolding protein that can bind to several proteins such as Klc, Appl, and hep. Aplip1 can link Khc to vesicles and has roles in fast axonal transport that are important for neuron structure and function. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07]
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
The JNK-interacting protein (JIP) group of scaffold proteins selectively mediates JNK signaling by aggregating specific components of the MAPK cascade to form a functional JNK signaling module. May function as a regulator of vesicle transport, through interactions with the JNK-signaling components and motor proteins (By similarity).
(UniProt, Q9W0K0)
Summary (Interactive Fly)

JNK scaffolding scaffolding protein that is part of motor-cargo linkage complexes for both kinesin-1 and dynein - acts downstream of the JNK pathway to affect axonal transport - binds APP family proteins

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

Forms homo- and heterooligomeric complexes. Binds Hep, a dual specificity protein kinase in the JNK pathway, but not its downstream target bsk. The C-terminal region interacts with the kinesin light chain protein, Klc, and the C-terminal PTY motif of amyloid-beta protein precursor-like protein, Appl.

        dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

        Identification: as a protein that interacts with the Appl cytoplasmic domain in a yeast two-hybrid assay.

        Identification: Protein that binds the cytoplasmic domain of Appl in a yeast two-hybrid screen.

        Identification: Dominant enhancer of Khc mutations.

        Mutations when homozygous or combined with either Khc or Klc causes organelle jams (axonal swellings filled with membrane-bounded organelles that are stalled in transit) and flipping (posterior muscle activity causing a rhythmic upward flipping of the tail during crawling). No effects are seen in combination with Dhc64C or Gl.
