Substrate-transport–elicited endocytosis is a common control mechanism of membrane transporters avoiding excess uptake of external compounds, though poorly understood at the molecular level. In yeast, endocytosis of transporters is triggered by their ubiquitylation mediated by the Rsp5 ubiquitin-ligase, recruited by α-arrestin–family adaptors. We here report that transport-elicited ubiquitylation of the arginine transporter Can1 is promoted by transition to an inward-facing state. This conformational change unveils a region of the N-terminal cytosolic tail targeted by the Art1 α-arrestin, which is activated via the TORC1 kinase complex upon arginine uptake. Can1 mutants altered in the arginine-binding site or a cytosolic tripeptide sequence permanently expose the α-arrestin–targeted region so that Art1 activation via TORC1 is sufficient to trigger their endocytosis. We also provide evidence that substrate-transport elicited endocytosis of other amino acid permeases similarly involves unmasking of a cytosolic Art1-target region coupled to activation of Art1 via TORC1. Our results unravel a mechanism likely involved in regulation of many other transporters by their own substrates. They also support the emerging view that transporter ubiquitylation relies on combinatorial interaction rules such that α-arrestins, stimulated via signaling cascades or in their basal state, recognize transporter regions permanently facing the cytosol or unveiled during transport.

The lacYun gene, which encodes a lactose carrier showing the uncoupled phenotype of substrate transport in Escherichia coli [Wilson, Kusch & Kashket (1970) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 40, 1409-1414], was cloned on a plasmid vector, pBR322. The binding of a substrate, p-nitrophenyl alpha-galactoside, to the lacYun carrier in membranes from the strain harbouring the lacYun clone showed a pH-dependence different from its binding to the wild-type lactose carrier. This finding indicated that the lacYun mutation confers higher affinity for H+ on the carrier, exerting its effect on the less efficient dissociation of substrate inside cells. The result coincides with the proposal [Yamato & Rosenbusch (1983) FEBS Lett. 151, 102-104] that the proton affecting the substrate binding is the coupling proton of the proton/lactose symport reaction, which allows only the ordered mechanism of binding of substrate to an H+-carrier binary complex. From the simplest model of the symport reaction, constructed on the basis of these results, the coupling site of energy in the carrier cycle of the transport reaction can be identified at the substrate-dissociation step inside cells.
