“…Previous studies have shown that the PX domain of these proteins binds with high specificity to PtdIns3P, driving their localization to PtdIns3P-enriched early endosomes Stockinger et al, 2002). PX-FERM proteins can then interact with cargo containing NPxY or NxxY motifs, and also PDZ-binding motif (PDZbm) cargo, in the case of SNX27, at the early endosomal membrane (Balana et al, 2011;Bottcher et al, 2012;Cai et al, 2011;Ghai et al, 2013;Hayashi et al, 2012;Joubert et al, 2004;Knauth et al, 2005;Lauffer et al, 2010;Lunn et al, 2007;Steinberg et al, 2013;Temkin et al, 2011;Valdes et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2013). This influences the routing of transmembrane cargo trafficking, away from degradative late endosomes and into recycling and retrieval pathways from the endosome back to the plasma membrane.…”
