  Domain Name: PX_SNX6
The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology domain of Sorting Nexin 6. The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. Sorting nexins (SNXs) make up the largest group among PX domain containing proteins. They are involved in regulating membrane traffic and protein sorting in the endosomal system. The PX domain of SNXs binds PIs and targets the protein to PI-enriched membranes. SNXs differ from each other in PI-binding specificity and affinity, and the presence of other protein-protein interaction domains, which help determine subcellular localization and specific function in the endocytic pathway. SNX6 forms a stable complex with SNX1 and may be a component of the retromer complex, a membrane coat multimeric complex required for endosomal retrieval of lysosomal hydrolase receptors to the Golgi, acting as a mammalian equivalent of yeast Vsp17p. It interacts with the receptor serine/threonine kinases from the transforming growth factor-beta family. It also plays roles in enhancing the degradation of EGFR and in regulating the activity of Na,K-ATPase through its interaction with Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP). SNX6 harbors a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, which detects membrane curvature, C-terminal to the PX domain, similar to other sorting nexins including SNX1-2. The PX-BAR structural unit helps determine the specific membrane-targeting of some SNXs.
