SPG11-SPG15 can cooperate with the fifth adaptor protein complex (AP5) involved in membrane sorting of late endosomes. We employed cryogenic-electron microscopy and in silico predictions to investigate the structural assemblies of the SPG11-SPG15 and AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complexes. The W-shaped SPG11-SPG15 intertwined in a head-to-head fashion, and the N-terminal region of SPG11 is required for AP5 complex interaction and assembly. The AP5 complex is in a super-open conformation. Our findings reveal that the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex can bind PI3P molecules, sense membrane curvature and drive membrane remodeling in vitro. These studies provide insights into the structure and function of the spastic paraplegia AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex, which is essential for the initiation of autolysosome tubulation. |
