The AP-1 clathrin adaptor has a conserved role in recycling resident proteins of the trans-Golgi network

This study investigates the role of AP-1 clathrin adaptor in recycling trans-Golgi network proteins, showing it maintains these proteins in the Golgi during maturation.

The Abelson kinase and the Nedd4-family E3 ligases co-regulate Notch trafficking to limit signaling

This study shows how Abelson kinase and Nedd4-family E3 ligases regulate Notch trafficking through phosphorylation and ubiquitination to control signaling output.

Activity-dependent Golgi satellite formation in dendrites reshapes the neuronal surface glycoproteome

The paper shows that increased neuronal excitation leads to the formation of Golgi satellites in dendrites, which modify surface glycoproteins and impact neurotransmitter receptor function.

The Abelson tyrosine kinase and the Nedd4-family ubiquitin ligase Suppressor of Deltex converge at the Notch PPxY motif to regulate endosomal trafficking and signaling

Nicotine exposure and neuronal activity regulate Golgi membrane dispersal and distribution

This study shows that nicotine exposure and neuronal activity alter Golgi membrane distribution in neurons, affecting local trafficking and potentially contributing to addiction.
