Regulation of Nutrient Homeostasis by COMMD proteins
Plasma membrane proteins, including receptors and nutrient transporters, undergo internalization into the endosomal compartment, from where these proteins are recycled back to the plasma membrane. This endosomal recycling process is essential to cellular homeostasis. Our laboratories have discovered two interrelated complexes that play key roles in endosomal recycling known as CCC and retriever. Both of these assemblies work in concert with WASH, an endosomally-localized actin nucleating pentameric complex. Significantly, perturbations of these systems have far-reaching consequences, including developmental anomalies, altered copper and lipid handling, and defective glucose tolerance. These…
