Nephrotic Syndrome Gene TBC1D8B Is Required for Endosomal Maturation and Nephrin Endocytosis in Drosophila
22 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Background Variants in TBC1D8B cause nephrotic syndrome. TBC1D8B is a GTPase-activating protein for Rab11 (RAB11-GAP) that interacts with nephrin, but how it controls nephrin trafficking or other podocyte functions remains unclear. Methods We generated a stable deletion in Tbc1d8b and used microhomology-mediated end-joining for genome editing. Ex vivo functional assays utilized slit diaphragms in podocyte-like...
