Conclusions Part A • UBA domain does not contribute to increased interaction of Swa2 with clathrin • Amino acid region 101-140 likely contains a novel clathrin binding motif

Conclusions Part C • Peptide 101-110 does not inhibit Swa2-1-140 interaction with clathrin • 101-110 peptide inhibitor does not contain complete motif • Novel motif likely surrounds 101 residue • Novel clathrin interaction element likely to involve acidic phenylalanine motif
Future Directions • Define acidic phenylalanine motif • Interaction with clathrin, Gga2, AP1 • Perform functional assay to test contribution of CB motif in vivo
