The protein GlENTHp (for Giardia lamblia ENTH protein) acts an Ent3/5p dominant-negative protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
GlENTHp impairs the correct clathrin-mediated trafficking between the TGN and the vacuole.
GlENTHp might belong to the epsinR subfamily.
20">A higher conservation of the protein sequence is required for proper function of the clathrin-coated machinery in yeast cells.
