Abstract excerpt
We examined the function of LIP5 in mammalian cells, because the yeast homologue Vta1p was recently identified as a protein required for multivesicular body (MVB) formation. LIP5 is predominantly a cytosolic protein. Depletion of LIP5 by small inhibitory RNA (siRNA) does not affect the distribution or morphology of early endosomes, lysosomes, or Golgi but does reduce the degradation of internalized epidermal...
