At higher concentrations of ligand, a substantial fraction of the receptor (>50%) is endocytosed through a clathrin independent, lipid-raft-dependent route as the receptor becomes Y1045 phosphorylated and ubiquitnated. Eps15 and Epsin are found in caveolae. Eps15 and Epsin are immunoprecipated with the EGF receptor. Non-clathrin internalization of ubiquitinated EGFR depends on its interaction with proteins harbouring the UIM Ub-interacting motif, as shown through the ablation of three Ub-interacting motif-containing proteins, Eps15, Eps15R and Epsin.
