Retromer stabilization results in neuroprotection in a model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
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 ...

MDSGene Systematic Review of Common Forms of Dominant Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: Novel Insights
Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness. The most common forms of autosomal dominant HSP are caused by pathogenic variants in SPAST (SPG4 or HSP‐SPAST), ATL1 (SPG3A or HSP‐ATL1), and REEP1 (SPG31 or HSP‐REEP1).

TGF‐β signaling regulates extracellular vesicle (EV) release in cancer cells by modulating the expression and activity of genes associated with EV biogenesis. The TGF‐β‐induced upregulation of RAB4A expression facilitates fast endosomal recycling, a process that limits the fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane and EV secretion. Hence,

Retriever is a multiprotein complex for retromer-independent endosomal cargo recycling [PDF]
Following endocytosis into the endosomal network, integral membrane proteins undergo sorting for lysosomal degradation or are retrieved and recycled back to the cell surface. Here we describe the discovery of an ancient and conserved multiprotein complex that orchestrates cargo retrieval and recycling and, importantly, is biochemically and functionally

Rhodopsin mistrafficking can cause photoreceptor (PR) degeneration. Upon light exposure, activated rhodopsin 1 (Rh1) in Drosophila PRs is internalized via endocytosis and degraded in lysosomes. Whether internalized Rh1 can be recycled is unknown.

ABSTRACT High temperature has posed significant challenges to global agriculture, markedly leading to reduced fertility and yield losses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Therefore, thermotolerance‐conferring genes and loci are needed to further improve cultivated tomatoes.

Neuronal and intestinal ATG‐18 promote longevity conferred by germline removal in C. elegans via non‐autophagic functions. In the intestine, ATG‐18 regulates lifespan through its interaction with the gluconeogenic enzyme PCK‐2. ABSTRACT Autophagy, a highly conserved cellular degradation process, plays essential roles in various physiological processes ...

The retromer complex and clathrin define an early endosomal retrograde exit site [PDF]
Previous studies have indicated a role for clathrin, the clathrin adaptors AP1 and epsinR, and the retromer complex in retrograde sorting from early/recycling endosomes to the trans Golgi network (TGN). However, it has remained unclear whether these protein machineries function on the same or parallel pathways.

Summary The vesicle trafficking system enables multidirectional cargo fluxes between endomembrane compartments. However, vesicle trafficking plays dual roles during pathogen infections. In plants, it mediates autophagic immune responses but can also be hijacked by pathogens to facilitate successful infections.
