Membrane transport: retromer to the rescue

Curr Biol. 2001 Feb 6;11(3):R109-11. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(01)00042-2.

Abstract

Genetic analysis in yeast has led to the discovery of a complex that retrieves proteins selectively from the prevacuolar compartment and transports them to the Golgi. Orthologs of these proteins in mammalian cells are likely to play a similar role but their cargoes are yet to be identified.
