Protein transport through the endosome is critical for maintaining proper integrin cell surface integrin distribution to support cell adhesion, motility and viability. Here we employ a live-cell imaging approach to evaluate the relationship between integrin function and transport through the early endosome. We discovered that two early endosome factors, AAK1L and EHD3, are critical for αvβ3-integrin-mediated cell adhesion in HeLa cells. siRNA-mediated depletion of either factor delays short-loop ...[more]
