...Naava Naslavsky; Steve Caplan ABSTRACT The early endosome (EE), also known as the sorting endosome (SE) is a crucial station for the sorting of cargoes, such as receptors and lipids, through the endocytic pathways. The term endosome relates to the receptacle-like nature of this organelle, to which...

... its trafficking to early endosomes. Following internalization, Cx43 partly colocalized with the ubiquitin-binding proteins Hrs (hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate; also known as Hgs) and Tsg101 (tumor susceptibility gene 101). Depletion of Hrs or Tsg101 by small interfering...

..., causes redistribution of sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) to enlarged early endosomes and disrupts transport of internalized Shiga toxin B subunit (STxB) to the Golgi. Moreover, under these conditions, Golgi morphology appears as a series of highly dispersed and fragmented stacks that maintain characteristics...

... and their product, PtdIns(3,5) P 2 , in the regulation of endomembrane homeostasis. In the current study, fixed and live cell imaging has established that, when overexpressed at low levels in HeLa cells, PIKfyve is predominantly associated with dynamic tubular and vesicular elements of the early endosomal...

... the majority of TGN38/41 is localized to the trans-most Golgi cisternae and the irans-Golgi network. Small amounts of this molecule can be detected in early endosomes. Capture of cycling TGN38/41 molecules at the cell surface altered the steady state distribution. This was accomplished by binding TGN38/41...

...). Direct recycling of the glycolipid from early endosomes to the plasma membrane occurs, as could be shown after treating the cells with the microtubule-disrupting agent nocodazole, which causes inhibition of the glycolipid’s trafficking from peripheral early endosomes to centrally located late endosomes...
