Pleased to share collaborative work with @MCDuncanLab led by amazing grad student Anusha @MCW_CBNA . We reveal unexpected dynamics in the endolysosomal system regulated by Rab35 that are critical for lumen formation in a model of early development. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

In summary, we propose that lumenogenesis in this system requires a massive/transient remodeling of endo-lysosomal system. Rab35 plays a key role in directing excess apical proteins out of endosomes and into lysosome. Without this, cells cannot form a mature apicosome. 13/

This system provides an avenue to explore the role of LE and lysosome compartments during apical membrane morphogenesis in this critical step during development. Check out the preprint for more details!! And thanks to Mara for another fun and productive collaboration!! 14/
