During a brief post-doctoral fellowship with Harvey Lodish at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Rothman learnt to work with viruses and cell - free systems — thus acquiring skills that would later prove invaluable for identifying molecules involved
in vesicle trafficking.
In fibrosarcoma and neuroblastoma cells, huntingtin shows discrete punctate, perinuclear localization overlapping largely with the trans - Golgi and cytoplasmic clathrin - coated vesicles, implicating huntingtin
in vesicle trafficking.
A protein that transports the simple chemical choline plays a major role
in vesicle trafficking, ion homeostasis, and growth and development in plants, according to two new studies publishing 28 December in the open - access journal PLOS Biology, by Dai - Yin Chao of the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, China, and Sheng Luan of the University of California, Berkeley, USA, and co-workers.
CTL1 mutation also altered the distribution of ion transporters, which, combined with previous work localizing CTL1 to the trans - Golgi network, led the authors to investigate whether CTL1 played a direct role
in vesicle trafficking.
