Yan and co-workers follow the localization of various membrane proteins upon blocking clathrin- and adaptor protein-mediated membrane trafficking, and reveal that blocking endocytosis reduces exocytosis (and vice-versa). https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koab180 By Xu Yan, Yutong Wang, Dana A. Dahhan, and Sebastian Y. Bednarek Background: The plasma membrane separates the inside of cells from the outside environment, thereby regulating […]
