Summary: Vesicle mediated protein sorting plays an important role in segregation of intracellular molecules into distinct organelles. Genetic studies in yeast have identified more than 40 vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) genes involved in vesicle transport to vacuoles. This gene encodes the human ortholog of yeast Vps41 protein which is also conserved in Drosophila, tomato, and Arabidopsis. Expression studies in yeast and human indicate that this protein may be involved in the formation and fusion of transport vesicles from the Golgi. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, however, the full-length nature of not all is known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Here, the authors show that Vps8 overexpression inhibits homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS)-dependent trafficking routes including late endosome maturation, autophagosome-lysosome fusion, crinophagy and lysosome-related organelle formation. Mechanistically, Vps8 overexpression abolishes the late endosomal localization of HOPS-specific Vps41/Lt and prevents HOPS assembly.
Title: Vps8 overexpression inhibits HOPS-dependent trafficking routes by outcompeting Vps41/Lt.
Our results indicate that an ARF-like GTPase gene product, ARL-8, mitigates endocytic Ab neurodegeneration in a VPS-41-dependent manner, rather than through RAB-7 and AP3 as with alpha-synuclein..we demonstrate that the LC3 orthologue, LGG-2, plays a critical role in Ab toxicity with ARL-8.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
