Bidirectional cargo transport: moving beyond tug of war

WO Hancock - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2014 - nature.com
Vesicles, organelles and other intracellular cargo are transported by kinesin and dynein
motors, which move in opposite directions along microtubules. This bidirectional cargo …

[HTML][HTML] ER contact sites define the position and timing of endosome fission

AA Rowland, PJ Chitwood, MJ Phillips, GK Voeltz - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
Summary Endocytic cargo and Rab GTPases are segregated to distinct domains of an
endosome. These domains maintain their identity until they undergo fission to traffic cargo. It …
