The p24 proteins are transmembrane proteins of the endomembrane system that play a poorly defined role in vesicle traffic between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgis apparatus. Various lines of evidence indicate that p24 proteins fall into four subfamilies (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) and that tetramers are assembled containing one representative from each subfamily; however, the nature of the protein-protein interactions within these hetero-oligomers is unknown. We have identified a lumenal segment of yeast p24 beta (Emp24p) that is necessary for its assembly into p24 complexes. Replacement of 52 C-terminal residues of Emp24p with the corresponding sequence from Erv25p (p24 delta) generates a chimeric protein able to replace Emp24p in p24 complexes that retain partial function in vivo, ruling out a role for the transmembrane and cytosolic domains in specifying p24 interactions. Substitution of a further 50 residues, encompassing a heptad repeat region, abolishes the ability of the chimera to replace Emp24p but instead creates a protein that resembles its Erv25p parent in its requirement for stabilization by Emp24p. These data point to a role for coiled-coil interactions in directing subfamily-specific assembly of p24 oligomers that project into the lumen of transport vesicles, where they may act to exclude secretory cargo from coat protein complex type I-coated retrograde transport vesicles.
