Ligand stimulation promotes downregulation of RTKs, a mechanism by which RTKs, through the ubiquitination pathway are removed from the cell surface, causing a temporary termination of RTK signaling. The molecular mechanisms governing RTK trafficking and maturation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi compartments are poorly understood. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐2 (VEGFR‐2) is...
Coat protein complex II (COPII) vesicle formation at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transports nascent secretory proteins forward to the Golgi complex. To further define the machinery that packages secretory cargo and targets vesicles to Golgi membranes, we performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis of purified COPII vesicles. In addition to previously known proteins, we identified new vesicle proteins...
Cover legend: Fer1L6 intensely localises to a specific perinuclear compartment of the trans‐golgi/recycling endosome. 3D‐structured illumination microscopy of murine C2C12 myoblasts transfected with the ferlin isoform Fer1L6. Fer1L6 (red) intensely labels a perinuclear compartment (DAPI‐labelled nuclei) distinct from GM130‐labelled cis and medial Golgi compartments (green). Redpath et al., shows this...
Ferlins are a family of transmembrane‐anchored vesicle fusion proteins uniquely characterized by 5–7 tandem cytoplasmic C2 domains, Ca2+‐regulated phospholipid‐binding domains that regulate vesicle fusion in the synaptotagmin family. In humans, dysferlin mutations cause limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) due to defective Ca2+‐dependent, vesicle‐mediated membrane repair and otoferlin mutations...
Na+‐taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (ntcp) mediates bile acid transport, also serving as the hepatitis B virus receptor. It traffics in vesicles along microtubules, requiring activity of protein kinase C (PKC)ζ for motility. We have now found that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the target of PKCζ activity and that EGFR and ntcp colocalize in vesicles. ntcp‐containing vesicles...
Rab9 is a small GTPase that localizes to the trans‐Golgi Network (TGN) and late endosomes. Its main function has long been connected to the recycling of mannose‐6‐phosphate receptors (MPRs). However, recent studies link Rab9 also to autophagy and lysosome biogenesis. In this paper, using confocal imaging, we characterize for the first time the live dynamics of the Rab9 constitutively active mutant,...
The solute carrier 30A (SLC30A) family of zinc exporters transports zinc into the lumen of intracellular organelles in order to prevent zinc toxicity. We reported that formation of tyrosine dimers is required for ZnT3 (zinc transporter 3) zinc transport activity and targeting to synaptic‐like microvesicles (SLMVs) in PC12 cells and the formation of ZnT3/ZnT10 heterodimers. Here, we focused on ZnT10...
