The late endocytic Rab39a GTPase regulates the interaction between multivesicular bodies and chlamydial inclusions. [PDF]
Given their obligate intracellular lifestyle, Chlamydia trachomatis ensure their access to multiple host sources of essential lipids by interfering vesicular transport.

The where, what, and when of membrane protein degradation in neurons [PDF]
Membrane protein turnover and degradation are required for the function and health of all cells. Neurons may live for the entire lifetime of an organism and are highly polarized cells with spatially segregated axonal and dendritic compartments.

Rab7—a novel redox target that modulates inflammatory pain processing
Abstract Chronic pain is accompanied by production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various cells that are important for nociceptive processing. Recent data indicate that ROS can trigger specific redox-dependent signaling processes, but the molecular targets of ROS signaling in the nociceptive system remain largely elusive.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]
In human, loss of Acid Sphingomeylinase (ASM/SMPD1) causes Niemann-Pick Disease, type A. ASM hydrolyzes sphingomyelins to produce ceramides but protein targets of ASM remain largely unclear. ...

Attenuated Leishmania induce pro-inflammatory mediators and influence leishmanicidal activity by p38 MAPK dependent phagosome maturation in Leishmania donovani co-infected macrophages [PDF]
Promastigote form of Leishmania, an intracellular pathogen, delays phagosome maturation and resides inside macrophages. But till date limited study has been done to manipulate the phagosomal machinery of macrophages to restrict Leishmania growth ...

Structural and mechanistic insights into regulation of the retromer coat by TBC1d5
Retromer is recruited to endosomes by the small GTPase Rab7 and sorting nexin 3. Here, the authors report the interaction between a GTPase-activating protein TBC1d5 and Rab7, examine the biochemical details of the interaction with retromer, and discuss ...

Spatiotemporal recruitment of the ubiquitin-specific protease USP8 directs endosome maturation
The spatiotemporal transition of small GTPase Rab5 to Rab7 is crucial for early-to-late endosome maturation, yet the precise mechanism governing Rab5-to-Rab7 switching remains elusive.
