Rab2 and Arl8/BORC control retrograde axonal transport of dense core vesicles via Syd/dJIP3/4 and RUFY dynein adaptors

The paper identifies Rab2, Syd/dJIP3/4, and RUFY as key regulators of retrograde axonal transport of dense core vesicles in Drosophila, showing distinct roles in DCV motility and sorting.

A dominant-negative variant in the dopamine transporter PDZ-binding motif is linked to parkinsonism and neuropsychiatric disease

The paper identifies a dominant-negative DAT variant linked to parkinsonism and neuropsychiatric disease through functional and in vivo studies.

Rab2 drives axonal transport of dense core vesicles and lysosomal organelles

This study shows Rab2 is essential for bidirectional axonal transport of DCVs and lysosomes in Drosophila, with Arl8 also playing a role in DCV transport.
