“…Additionally, evidence from loss-of-function mutants of an A. thaliana AP-3 adaptor complex, which in immunoprecipitation experiments binds clathrin, are too, indirectly indicative of a function of clathrin in the vacuolar pathway (Zwiewka et al, 2011;Feraru et al, 2010). In turn, loss of function mutants of TGN-localized monomeric clathrin adaptors MODIFIED TRANSPORT TO THE VACUOLE1 (MTV1) and EPSIN1 indicate clathrin functions in both vacuolar, and secretory, pathways (Sauer et al, 2013;Heinze et al, 2020;Collins et al, 2020). Finally, multivesicular bodies (MVBs), organelles acting as late endosomes in delivery of cargo to the vacuole, were observed to directly mature from the TGN compartment, and soluble vacuolar cargo to reach the vacuole following inhibition of clathrin function, arguing for a lack of necessity of clathrin-mediated vesicular transport for vacuolar delivery (Scheuring et al, 2011).…”
