The subcellular localization of the sorting nexins (SNXs) in higher plants is a matter of controversy. Previous confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM studies on root cells from a transgenic Arabidopsis line expressing SNX1-GFP have suggested that this SNX is present on an endosome having characteristics of both the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the multivesicular body (MVB). In contrast, SNX2a locates exclusively to the TGN when transiently expressed in tobacco mesophyll protoplasts. By performing immunogold electron microscopy on cryofixed Arabidopsis roots, we have tried to clarify the situation. Both SNX1-GFP and endogenous SNX2a locate principally to the TGN. Labeling of MVBs could not be confirmed with any certainty.

Sorting nexins (SNXs) as the key regulators of sorting cargo proteins are involved in diverse diseases. SNXs can form the specific reverse vesicle transport complex (SNXs-retromer) with vacuolar protein sortings (VPSs) to sort and modulate recovery and degradation of cargo proteins. Our previous study has shown that SNX3-retromer promotes both STAT3 activation and nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that SNX3 might be a critical regulator in the heart.

Background: Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and invasive brain tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. The aims of the present study are to investigate the pathogenesis of glioblastoma and identify potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: We performed a systematic analysis of gene expression data from multiple datasets, including GEO and TCGA, to identify hub genes and pathways associated with glioblastoma progression.

Sorting nexin 4 (SNX4) is an evolutionary conserved organizer of membrane recycling. In neurons, SNX4 accumulates in synapses, but how SNX4 affects synapse function remains unknown. We generated a conditional SNX4 knock-out mouse model and report that SNX4 cKO synapses show enhanced neurotransmission during train stimulation, while the first evoked EPSC was normal.

Background: Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a public health concern. Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) plays an important regulatory role in multiple MAFLD stages, as it can promote the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and promote liver fibrosis. Sorting nexin protein-10 (SNX-10) may be involved in the occurrence and development of fatty liver disease.

A dense glycocalyx, composed of the megaDalton-sized membrane mucin MUC17, coats the microvilli in the apical brush border of transporting intestinal epithelial cells, called enterocytes. The formation of the MUC17-based glycocalyx in the mouse small intestine occurs at the critical suckling-weaning transition. The glycocalyx extends 1 µm into the intestinal lumen and prevents the gut bacteria from directly attaching to the enterocytes.
