Membrane atg8ylation but not canonical autophagy control retromer-dependent endosomal sorting of cargo, including glucose transporter GLUT1, of general import and of significance for control of tuberculosis.
Biophysical binding and structural prediction studies reveal that Tetraspanin12 directly binds the ligand Norrin, in a manner that is negatively cooperative with Norrin-Fzd4 binding and competitive with Norrin-LRP5/6 binding.
