Highlights: • SGIP1 form dimer through a disulfide bond formed by C632 in C-terminal μHD domain. • C632 is critical for SGIP1 function in clathrin-mediated endocytosis in HeLa cells. • C632 is necessary for the dimer formation of SGIP1 both in vivo and in vitro. Along with its homologs FCHo1 and FCHo2, SGIP1 plays an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The highly conserved C-terminal μHD domains in these proteins are the critical regions interacting with adapter molecules such as Eps15. The crystal structure of μHD domain of SGIP1 has been reported previously. In this study, we found that μHD domain of SGIP1 is capable of forming a stable dimer by an intermolecular disulfide bond formed by C632 in our crystal structure. The mutational study of C632 revealed that this residue is important for the function of SGIP1 during cellular endocytosis. Our study revealed a new dimerization and/or oligomerization manner in theses adaptor proteins, which is a critical prerequisite for their proper function.
