Endosomal retrieval and recycling is orchestrated through a specialised endosomal nanodomain, the retrieval sub-domain.
“and is orchestrated through a specialised endosomal nanodomain, the retrieval sub-domain”
From Mapping of endosomal proximity proteomes reveals Retromer as a hub for RAB GTPase regulation (2025) · cites this paper as [14]
The paper’s opening section describes retromer generating cargo-selective carriers from endosomal membranes and reports its coat structure on membrane tubules. It does not identify a specialised endosomal nanodomain called the “retrieval sub-domain” or say that such a domain orchestrates retrieval and recycling. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredEndosomal cargo retrieval and recycling are orchestrated by several multi-protein assemblies including SNX27-Retromer and SNX3-Retromer, SNX17-Retriever and associated Commander super-assembly, the WASH complex and its regulatory MUST complex, and the SNX-BAR proteins and ESCPE-1.
“Orchestrating endosomal cargo retrieval and recycling are several multi-protein assemblies that include sorting nexin-27 (SNX27)-Retromer and SNX3-Retromer8–16, SNX17-Retriever and associated Commander super-assembly17–22, the branched F-actin polymerising WASH complex and its regulatory MAGE-L2/USP7/TRIM27 (MUST) complex23–25, and the SNX-BAR proteins and endosomal sorting complex required for ex”

The precise mechanisms of cargo selection by Retriever have remained elusive.
“Unlike the well-studied Retromer25,26,34, the precise mechanisms of cargo selection by Retriever have remained elusive37.”
From Structural basis for Retriever-SNX17 assembly and endosomal sorting (2024) · cites this paper as [25]
The paper’s discussion of cargo binding and sorting concerns Retromer and its associated sorting nexins (section labelled Abstract; page not provided). A search for “Retriever” and “Retriever cargo selection mechanisms” found no passage addressing Retriever or whether its cargo-selection mechanisms remain elusive. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCryo-ET analysis of membrane-associated Retromer has established a polarised organisation where the amino-terminal region of VPS35 associates with VPS26A/B proximal to the membrane surface and the membrane distal carboxy-terminal region of VPS35 dimerises with a neighbouring Retromer to form an arch-like structure.
“Cryo-ET analysis of membrane-associated Retromer has established a polarised organisation where the amino-terminal region of VPS35 associates with VPS26A/B proximal to the membrane surface and the membrane distal carboxy-terminal region of VPS35 dimerises with a neighbouring Retromer to form an arch-like structure (Fig. 2F and Supplementary Fig. 4B)13,14,16.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
