RAB-10 cooperates with EHBP-1 to capture vesicular carriers during post-Golgi exocytic trafficking

Post-Golgi exocytic trafficking, fundamental for secretion and cell surface component integration, remains incompletely understood at the molecular level. Here, we investigated this process using Caenorhabditis elegans and mammalian cell models, revealing a novel exocytic carrier capturing mechanism involving the small GTPase RAB-10/Rab10 and its effector EHBP-1/EHBP1. EHBP-1, localized in recycling endosomes, selectively captures RAB-10-positive lipoprotein […]
