Abstract
Endocytosis is an essential process required for the movement of proteins and lipids within cells. NEKL-2 and NEKL-3, two evolutionarily conserved proteins in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans , are important regulators of endocytosis. In the current study, the authors describe a new functional link between the NEKLs and several proteins with known roles in endocytosis including TAT-1, a conserved enzyme that moves lipids between the bilayers of cellular membranes. As previous work implicated NEKLs in developmental defects and cancer, the present study can provide new insights into how the misregulation of endocytosis affects human health and disease.
