The process in which ubiquitin (Ub) conjugation is required for trafficking of integral membrane proteins into multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and eventual degradation in the lumen of lysosomes/vacuoles is well defined. However, Ub-independent pathways into MVBs are less understood. To better understand this process, we have further characterized the membrane protein Sna3, the prototypical Ub-independent cargo protein sorted through the MVB pathway in yeast. We show that Sna3 trafficking to the vac ...[more]
