Sorting nexin (SNX)9 was first discovered as an endocytic accessory protein involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. However, recent data suggest that SNX9 is a multifunctional scaffold that coordinates membrane trafficking and remodeling with changes in actin dynamics to affect diverse cellular processes. Here, we review the accumulated knowledge on SNX9 with an emphasis on its recently identified roles in clathrin-independent endocytic pathways, cell invasion, and cell division, which have implications for SNX9 function in human disease, including cancer.

SNX9 family mediates βarrestin-independent GPCR endocytosis.

Agonist-stimulated GPCR endocytosis typically occurs via the multi-faceted adaptor proteins known as βarrestins. However, endocytosis of several GPCRs occurs independently of β-arrestins, suggesting an additional mode of GPCR endocytosis, but the mechanisms remain unknown. Here we provide evidence that sorting nexin 9 (SNX9), a previously described endocytic remodeling protein, functions as a novel cargo adaptor that promotes agonist-stimulated GPCR endocytosis.

A pan-cancer analysis summarizing the overall changes in mRNA and protein stability of ADM9, as well as its oncogenic function on immune cell line modulation and checkpoints within the tumor microenvironment (TME), is lacking, despite the fact that ADM9 up-regulation is correlated with the progression of many cancers. Therefore, in this study, we comprehensively analyzed the role of ADAM9 expression and its prognostic value in different cancers to fill this gap. Multiple bioinformatics databases such as Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), and Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) were used to evaluate the ADAM9 genetic alternation, phosphorylation, and methylation, and indicated highly positive correlated genes that might play a critical interaction with ADAM9 and their molecular function with GO analysis.

To enter epithelial cells, the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae secretes early effector proteins, which bind to and modulate the host-cell's plasma membrane and recruit several pivotal endocytic host proteins. Here, we present the high-resolution structure of an entry-related chlamydial effector protein, SemD. Co-crystallisation of SemD with its host binding partners demonstrates that SemD co-opts the Cdc42 binding site to activate the actin cytoskeleton regulator N-WASP, making active, GTP-bound Cdc42 superfluous.

As an environmental pollution metal, copper (Cu) exposure-induced toxicity is closely related to mitochondrial damage. Mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs) plays an essential role in mitochondrial quality control and cellular metabolism. However, the mechanism by which MDVs are involved in cellular metabolism under Cu exposure remains unclear.

Background: Long COVID is a debilitating chronic condition that has affected over 100 million people globally. It is characterized by a diverse array of symptoms, including fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and respiratory problems. Studies have so far largely failed to identify genetic associations, the mechanisms behind the disease, or any common pathophysiology with other conditions such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) that present with similar symptoms.
