Brief description Defining the membrane protein cargo transported by Retromer. This project aims to define the role of Retromer, a protein machine that directs the organisation and movement of proteins within the cell. The function of proteins is dependent on how they travel through the various regions or compartments within the cell. One intracellular compartment, termed endosomes, is central to this dynamic process. Intracellular transport of biomolecules through the endosomal organelle is critical for normal cellular processes such as signalling and development. Endosomal transport occurs within membrane domains and membrane vesicular carriers formed by Retromer. This project aims to define the transmembrane proteins sorted by the distinct retromer complexes that form within the cell and the sorting signals essential for their correct trafficking and localisation.
