    Description: Endocytosis is a complex process fulfilling many cellular and developmental functions. Understanding how it is regulated and integrated with other cellular processes requires a comprehensive analysis of its molecular constituents and general design principles. Here, we developed a new strategy to phenotypically profile the human genome with respect to transferrin (TF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) endocytosis by combining RNA interference, automated high-resolution confocal microscopy, quantitative multiparametric image analysis and high-performance computing. We identified several novel components of endocytic trafficking, including genes implicated in human diseases. We found that signalling pathways such as Wnt, integrin/cell adhesion, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and Notch regulate the endocytic system, and identified new genes involved in cargo sorting to a subset of signalling endosomes. A systems analysis by Bayesian networks further showed that the number, size, concentration of cargo and intracellular position of endosomes are not determined randomly but are subject to specific regulation, thus uncovering novel properties of the endocytic system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Collinet, Claudio -- Stoter, Martin -- Bradshaw, Charles R -- Samusik, Nikolay -- Rink, Jochen C -- Kenski, Denise -- Habermann, Bianca -- Buchholz, Frank -- Henschel, Robert -- Mueller, Matthias S -- Nagel, Wolfgang E -- Fava, Eugenio -- Kalaidzidis, Yannis -- Zerial, Marino -- England -- Nature. 2010 Mar 11;464(7286):243-9. doi: 10.1038/nature08779.

    Description: An outstanding question is how cells control the number and size of membrane organelles. The small GTPase Rab5 has been proposed to be a master regulator of endosome biogenesis. Here, to test this hypothesis, we developed a mathematical model of endosome dependency on Rab5 and validated it by titrating down all three Rab5 isoforms in adult mouse liver using state-of-the-art RNA interference technology. Unexpectedly, the endocytic system was resilient to depletion of Rab5 and collapsed only when Rab5 decreased to a critical level. Loss of Rab5 below this threshold caused a marked reduction in the number of early endosomes, late endosomes and lysosomes, associated with a block of low-density lipoprotein endocytosis. Loss of endosomes caused failure to deliver apical proteins to the bile canaliculi, suggesting a requirement for polarized cargo sorting. Our results demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, the role of Rab5 as an endosome organizer in vivo and reveal the resilience mechanisms of the endocytic system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zeigerer, Anja -- Gilleron, Jerome -- Bogorad, Roman L -- Marsico, Giovanni -- Nonaka, Hidenori -- Seifert, Sarah -- Epstein-Barash, Hila -- Kuchimanchi, Satya -- Peng, Chang Geng -- Ruda, Vera M -- Del Conte-Zerial, Perla -- Hengstler, Jan G -- Kalaidzidis, Yannis -- Koteliansky, Victor -- Zerial, Marino -- England -- Nature. 2012 May 23;485(7399):465-70. doi: 10.1038/nature11133.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, 01307 Dresden, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22622570" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
