Development of genetically-encoded fluorescent KSR1-based probes to track ceramides during phagocytosis

V. Girik, L. Van Ek, I. Dentand Quadri, M. Azam, M. Cruz Cobo, M. Mandavit, I. Riezman, H. Riezman, A.-C. Gavin, P. Nunes-Hasler

This study develops genetically encoded fluorescent probes based on KSR1's ceramide-binding domain to track ceramide dynamics during phagocytosis and identifies distinct behaviors of different probe variants.
