The USP-50/USP8 protease removes the Rab5 GEF Rabex5 from endosomes while facilitating recruitment of the Rab7 GEF SAND-1/Mon1, promoting endosome maturation.

Plasticity arising from autocatalytic receptor activation coexists with robustness in ligand responsiveness only by differential endosomal sorting of spontaneous and ligand-activated EGFR as distinct molecular states.

Heterotrimeric G proteins are less abundant on endosomes and organelles than on the plasma membrane.

Oxidative stress leads to the translocation of Rab5 from endosome to mitochondria, regulated by ALS/Alsin, a component associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, leading to mitochondrial-endosomal physical contacts and a cytoprotective response.

Direct estimation of the Hurst exponent shows that endosomes and lysosomes reside in regimes of persistent and anti-persistent motion with heavy-tailed residence time distributions and motion correlated with endocytic function.

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.

CapZ controls actin filament density around immature early endosomes via its C-terminal domain to facilitate the homotypic fusion of the endocytic vesicles, and it functions as a scaffold protein via its N-terminal domain to recruit RAB5 effectors to early endosomes.

The pathogenic success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis relies in part on its ability to blunt a component of the TLR2-dependent immune response.

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.

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.
