After endocytosis, transmembrane cargo is differentially sorted into degradative or recycling pathways. This process is facilitated by recruitment into physically distinct degradative or recycling microdomains on the limiting membrane of individual endosomes. Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) mark the degradative microdomain, while the recycling domain is marked by the retromer complex and associated proteins RME-8 and SNX-1. The separation of endosomal microdomains is also controlled by RME-8 and SNX-1, at least in part via removal of degradative component HRS/HGRS-1 from the recycling microdomain. This activity is likely due to recruitment and activation of chaperone Hsc70 on the endosome by the RME-8 DNAJ domain. To better understand the mechanism of RME-8 function we performed a new phylogenetic analysis of RME-8 and identified new conserved sequence features. In a complementary approach, we performed structure-function analysis that identified the C-terminus as important for microdomain localization and likely substrate binding, while N-terminal sequences beyond the known single N-terminal PH-like domain are important for endosome recruitment. Random mutagenesis identified IWN4, and by analogy IWN3, to be important for the autoinhibitory DNAJ domain binding, with IWN3 playing a critical role in HRS uncoating activity. Combining AlphaFold structural predictions with in vivo mutation analysis of RME-8, we propose a model whereby SNX-1 and the IWN domains control the conformation of RME-8 and hence the productive exposure of the DNAJ domain. Furthermore, we propose that the activation of RME-8 is cyclical, with SNX-1 acting as an activator and a target of RME-8 uncoating activity. The cells of eukaryotic organisms, including animals, plants, and fungi contain several specialized membrane-bound compartments which perform functions essential for life. Trafficking of membrane proteins between these compartments is an active area of study with important implications in human metabolic and neurologic disease. Endosomes are remarkable compartments where transmembrane proteins taken in from the cell’s outer membrane are sorted for degradation or reuse. This sorting is in part achieved by physically distinct protein coats, the degradative and recycling microdomains. Little about how these microdomains segregate from each other is known. In this work, we reveal how recycling protein RME-8, a key player in microdomain segregation, works. We report that RME-8 is likely inhibited on endosomal membranes by homo-oligomerization until it is activated by companion recycling protein SNX-1. This activation allows RME-8 to un-coat both degradative sorting proteins to limit of the microdomains and its own activator SNX-1 as a means of negative feedback regulation. RME-8 and SNX-1 do not act alone, however, but are parts of an expansive recycling machinery, with much exciting work yet to be done to uncover their functions within this broader context.
