There's been a huge amount of progress in this #MembraneTrafficking area in the last few years. A new review by Gopaldass et al.
Assembly and fission of tubular carriers mediating protein sorting in endosomes
Endosomes function as sorting stations that segregate cargo proteins into endosomal carriers, enabling their distribution to subcellular target compartments. Increasingly detailed structural insights have revealed how proteins, such as sorting nexins, assemble on endosomal membranes to form a coat that facilitates the formation and detachment of tubular carriers.
This is very cool: 8-channel imaging! First author Akaash Kumar presented this at our recent Warwick-Cambridge Cell/Dev Bio meeting and blew us away with the technology.
This preprint from the Baker lab is very cool. Shows how AP-3 complex could form vesicles using amphipathic helices from Arf1 and from two of its own subunits
