Retromer Regulates Macro‐ and Micro‐Autophagy via Distinct Vacuolar Proteases in the Rice Blast Fungus [PDF]
The vacuole degrades and recycles endocytic and autophagic cargos, while the retromer complex sorts cargos from the endosomes to the trans‐Golgi network or the plasma membrane, thus preventing unnecessary vacuolar degradation.

Stabilizing the retromer complex rescues synaptic dysfunction and endosomal trafficking deficits in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model [PDF]
Disruptions in synaptic transmission and plasticity are early hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Endosomal trafficking, mediated by the retromer complex, is essential for intracellular protein sorting, including the regulation of amyloid precursor ...

Stabilizing the Retromer Complex in a Human Stem Cell Model of Alzheimer’s Disease Reduces TAU Phosphorylation Independently of Amyloid Precursor Protein [PDF]
Summary: Developing effective therapeutics for complex diseases such as late-onset, sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (SAD) is difficult due to genetic and environmental heterogeneity in the human population and the limitations of existing animal models. Here,

Molecular basis for the assembly of the Vps5-Vps17 SNX-BAR proteins with Retromer [PDF]
Retromer mediates endosomal retrieval of transmembrane proteins in all eukaryotes and was first discovered in yeast in complex with the Vps5 and Vps17 sorting nexins (SNXs).

Retromer stabilization results in neuroprotection in a model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [PDF]
ALS is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of motor neurons. Here, the authors showed that reduced levels of the VSP35 subunit in the retromer complex is a conserved ALS feature and identified a new lead compound increasing retromer ...

Retromer- and WASH-dependent sorting of nutrient transporters requires a multivalent interaction network with ANKRD50 [PDF]
Retromer and the associated actin-polymerizing WASH complex are essential for the endocytic recycling of a wide range of integral membrane proteins. A hereditary Parkinson's-disease-causing point mutation (D620N) in the retromer subunit VPS35 perturbs

Atypical parkinsonism-associated retromer mutant alters endosomal sorting of specific cargo proteins [PDF]
The retromer complex acts as a scaffold for endosomal protein complexes that sort integral membrane proteins to various cellular destinations. The retromer complex is a heterotrimer of VPS29, VPS35, and VPS26.
