Ligand-stimulated growth factor receptors are rapidly internalized and transported to early endosomes. Unstimulated receptors are also internalized constitutively, although at a slower rate, and delivered to the same organelle. At early endosomes, stimulated receptors are sorted for the lysosomal degradation pathway, whereas unstimulated receptors are mostly recycled back to the cell surface. To investigate the role of Hrs, an early endosomal protein, in this sorting process, we overexpressed Hrs in HeLa cells and examined the intracellular trafficking of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in EGF-stimulated and unstimulated cells. Overexpression of Hrs inhibited the trafficking of EGFR from early endosomes, resulting in an accumulation of EGFR on early endosomes in both ligand-stimulated and unstimulated cells. On the other hand, overexpression of Hrs mutants with a deletion or a point mutation within the FYVE domain did not inhibit the trafficking. These results suggest that Hrs regulates the sorting of ligand-stimulated and unstimulated growth factor receptors on early endosomes, and that the FYVE domain, which is required for Hrs to reside in a microdomain of early endosomes, plays an essential role in the function of Hrs.
