GAT domain found in eukaryotic GGAs, metazoan Tom1-like proteins, metazoan STAMs, fungal Vps27, and similar proteins; The GAT (GGA and Tom1) domain superfamily includes the canonical GAT domain found in ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf)-binding proteins (GGAs) from eukaryotes, myb protein 1 (Tom1)-like proteins from metazoa, and LAS seventeen-binding protein 5 (Lsb5p)-like proteins from fungi. The canonical GAT domain is a monomeric three-helix bundle that binds ubiquitin. GGAs, also called Golgi-localized gamma-ear-containing Arf-binding proteins, belong to a family of ubiquitously expressed, monomeric, motif-binding cargo/clathrin adaptor proteins that regulate clathrin-mediated trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to endosomes. GGAs play important roles in ubiquitin-dependent sorting of cargo proteins both in biosynthetic and endocytic pathways. Tom1 and its related proteins, Tom1L1 and Tom1L2, form a protein family sharing an N-terminal VHS-domain followed by a GAT domain. Tom1 family proteins bind to ubiquitin, ubiquitinated proteins, and Toll-interacting protein (Tollip) through its GAT domain. They do not associate with either Arf GTPases through its GAT domain nor with acidic cluster-dileucine sequences through its VHS domain. The GAT domain superfamily also includes the non-canonical GAT domain found in several components of the ESCRT-0 complex, including signal transducing adapter molecules (STAMs) and hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (Hrs) from metazoa, as well as vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 27 (Vps27) and class E vacuolar protein-sorting machinery protein Hse1 from fungi. Hrs, together with STAM, forms a Hrs/STAM core complex. Vps27, together with Hse1, forms a Vps27/Hse1 core complex. Those complexes consist of two intertwined GAT domains, each consisting of two helices from one subunit, and one from the other subunit. The intertwined GAT heterodimer acts as a scaffold for binding of ubiquitinated cargo proteins and coordinating ubiquitination and deubiquitination reactions that regulate sorting.

canonical GAT domain found in target of Myb-like protein 1 (Tom1L1); Tom1L1, also called Src-activating and signaling molecule protein (Srcasm), was identified as a substrate of the Src family of protein kinases. It is tyrosine-phosphorylated by Src family kinases and modulates growth factor and Src-mediated signaling pathways. It also plays a potential role in endosomal sorting and ligand-stimulated endocytosis of EGF receptors (EGFR). Tom1L1 is predominantly present in the cytosol and can interact with Toll-interacting protein (Tollip), Hrs or TSG101, clathrin, and ubiquitinated proteins. It contains an N-terminal VHS (Vps27p/Hrs/STAM)-domain, a GAT (GGA and TOM1) domain, and a C-terminal clathrin-binding region, both of which are conserved in Golgi-localized gamma ear-containing Arf-binding proteins (GGAs). It interacts with Tollip through their GAT domain and recuits clathrin onto endosomes through their C-terminal region. However, in the C-terminal clathrin-binding region, Tom1 and Tom1L2 are similar to each other, but distinguishable from Tom1L1. The canonical GAT domain is a monomeric three-helix bundle that binds ubiquitin.

canonical GAT domain found in target of Myb-like protein 2 (Tom1L2); Tom1L2, together with Myb protein 1 (Tom1) and target of Myb-like protein 1 (Tom1L1), constitute the Tom1 family. Tom1L2 can interact with Toll-interacting protein (Tollip), clathrin, and ubiquitin. It may play a potential role in endosomal sorting, as well as in the regulation of membrane trafficking that is linked to immunity and cell proliferation. Tom1L2 contains an N-terminal VHS (Vps27p/Hrs/STAM)-domain, a GAT (GGA and TOM1) domain, and a C-terminal clathrin-binding region, both of which are conserved in Golgi-localized gamma ear-containing Arf-binding proteins (GGAs).
