During clathrin-mediated endocytosis, proteins on the cell surface are selected for inclusion in clathrin-coated vesicles by clathrin adaptors, mainly the adaptor complex AP2. The P2X4 subtype of ATP-gated ion channel has in its C-terminus two putative endocytic motifs: a canonical YXX
motif and a non-canonical YXXG
motif (YEQGL). We demonstrate that endocytosis of P2X4 receptors is mediated preferentially by the YXXG
motif because the YXX
motif is inaccessible to AP2 owing to the structure of the channel. The crystal structure of a complex between residues 160-435 of the µ2 subunit of AP2 and a P2X4 C-terminal peptide showed that the YEQGL motif binds to µ2 at the same site as YXX
motifs. Y and
residues are accommodated in the same hydrophobic pockets in µ2 with the extra residue between them being accommodated by changes in the peptide's backbone configuration, when compared to YXX
motifs. These data demonstrate that the family of potential tyrosine-based endocytic signals must be expanded to include motifs with an additional glycine at Y+3 (YXXG
).
