DExCon, LUXon, and DExogron approaches simultaneously block endogenous gene expression and permit tuning of re-expression levels in time and space; proof-of-principle reveals unforeseen differences in protein kinetics, cargo handling, and cell migration regulation between closely related Rab11 family members.

The apical polarity protein CRB3 is crucial for regulating vesicle trafficking in γ-tubulin ring complex assembly during ciliogenesis and cilium-related Hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathways in tumorigenesis.

Rab11a-mediated endosomal trafficking in macrophages regulates potassium channel localization and activity at the cell surface and the downstream activation of the inflammasome and is a potential therapeutic target in acute or chronic inflammatory states.

Rab25a and Rab25b mutant embryos exhibit epithelial spreading delays during morphogenesis and are characterized by cytokinesis defects leading to cell fusions, heterogeneous epithelial cell sizes, and reduced cortical actomyosin contractility.

Discovery of a physiological LRRK2 substrate and a new mechanism of Rab regulation should aid Parkinson’s research and the understanding of Rab function.

A conserved motif in corin and CD320 LDL receptor modules regulates specific apical trafficking in polarized renal epithelial cells.

Mature axons lose the ability to regenerate because key growth molecules are excluded through changes in vesicle transport, and restoring transport can restore regeneration.

BDNF-regulated deployment of Rab10 to the distal axon regulates retrograde propagation of neurotrophic signalling, providing a flexible mechanism to fine-tune the communication between the synapse and the cell body of neurons, as well as novel therapeutic targets for neurodegeneration.

Activating mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 cause Parkinson’s disease, and an unbiased genome-wide screen revealed an unexpected, specific role for Rab12 in activating this kinase directly for Rab GTPase phosphorylation.

Components of a Spir:MyoV:Rab11 complex are recruited synergistically to coordinate actin tracks generation and myosin motor activity in vesicle transport processes.
