The yeast VARP homolog forms a new sorting nexin complex that promotes its own membrane recruitment through GEF activity and regulates the distribution of endosomal proteins.
SNX6 regulates the distribution of a protein called Homer1b/c to distal dendrites, enabling the latter to stabilize the synapses and thereby support memory formation.

SNX4 influences synaptic vesicle recruitment at the active zone, linking endosomal sorting to docked vesicle density and modulating neurotransmission efficiency during sustained activity.

Structure of a pathogen effector complexed to Sorting Nexin 5 reveals an evolutionarily conserved interface that is required for retromer-dependent host restriction.

Studies of Lowe syndrome patient cells, which lack the inositol 5-phosphatase OCRL, suggest that a defect in endocytosis plays a role in the pathological manifestations of the disease.

A novel, inexpensive, easy-to-use method to analyse traffic along the endosomal pathway in mammalian cells shows that there is coordination between Rab conversion and acidification, but almost none between Rab conversion and recycling.
