Reticulon-3 Promotes Endosome Maturation at ER Membrane Contact Sites
Summary ER tubules form and maintain membrane contact sites (MCSs) with endosomes. How and why these ER-endosome MCSs persist as endosomes traffic and mature is poorly understood.

A Novel Class of ER Membrane Proteins Regulates ER-Associated Endosome Fission
Summary ER membrane contact sites (MCSs) mark positions where endosomes undergo fission for cargo sorting. To define the role of ER at this unique MCS, we targeted a promiscuous biotin ligase to cargo sorting domains on endosome buds.

Lipid Transfer–Dependent Endosome Maturation Mediated by Protrudin and PDZD8 in Neurons
Endosome maturation refers to the conversion of early endosomes (EEs) to late endosomes (LEs) for subsequent fusion with lysosomes. It is an incremental process that involves a combination of endosome fusion and fission and which occurs at contact sites ...

STARD 3 mediates endoplasmic reticulum‐to‐endosome cholesterol transport at membrane contact sites
StAR‐related lipid transfer domain‐3 (STARD3) is a sterol‐binding protein that creates endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–endosome contact sites. How this protein, at the crossroad between sterol uptake and synthesis pathways, impacts the intracellular ...

Distribution and Co-localization of endosome markers in cells
Clathrin mediated endocytosis is one pathway for internalization of extracellular nano materials into cells [1, 2]. In this pathway, proteins attached to receptors and the internalized materials are encapsulated in clathrin coated membrane vesicles that ...

A shared, stochastic pathway mediates exosome protein budding along plasma and endosome membranes
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles of ∼30 to 150 nm that are secreted by all cells, abundant in all biofluids, and play important roles in health and disease. However, details about the mechanism of exosome biogenesis are unclear. Here, we carried

Endosome positioning coordinates spatially-selective GPCR signaling
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a class of critical regulators of mammalian physiology, can initiate unique functional responses depending on the subcellular compartment of their activation.
