Abstract excerpt
Neighbor of BRCA1 (Nbr1) is a highly conserved multidomain scaffold protein with proposed roles in endocytic trafficking and selective autophagy. However, the exact function of Nbr1 in these contexts has not been studied in detail. Here we investigated the role of Nbr1 in the trafficking of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). We report that ectopic Nbr1 expression inhibits the ligand-mediated lysosomal degradation...
