JRAB/MICAL-L2 undergoes liquid–liquid phase separation to form tubular recycling endosomes

Sakane et al. demonstrate that JRAB/MICAL-L2, an effector protein of Rab8 and Rab13, induces endosomal tubulation in HeLa cells depending on its closed conformation caused by an activated Rab8A. JRAB/MICAL-L2 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation when overexpressed, which precedes its interaction...

Description
Summary:Sakane et al. demonstrate that JRAB/MICAL-L2, an effector protein of Rab8 and Rab13, induces endosomal tubulation in HeLa cells depending on its closed conformation caused by an activated Rab8A. JRAB/MICAL-L2 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation when overexpressed, which precedes its interaction with Rab8A, eventually leading to tubulation.
