Abstract

Lysosomes play a central role in the degradation of proteins and other macromolecules. The mechanisms by which receptors are transferred to lysosomes for constitutive degradation are poorly understood. We have analyzed the processes that lead to the lysosomal delivery of the Fc receptor, FcRn. These studies provide support for a novel pathway for receptor delivery. Specifically, unlike other receptors that enter intraluminal vesicles in late endosomes, FcRn is transferred from the limiting membrane of such endosomes to lysosomes, and is rapidly internalized into the lysosomal lumen. By contrast, LAMP-1 persists on the limiting membrane. Receptor transfer is mediated by tubular extensions from late endosomes to lysosomes, or by interactions of the two participating organelles in kiss-and-linger-like processes, whereas full fusion is rarely observed. The persistence of FcRn on the late endosomal limiting membrane, together with selective transfer to lysosomes, allows this receptor to undergo recycling or degradation. Consequently, late endosomes have functional plasticity, consistent with the presence of the Rab5 GTPase in discrete domains on these compartments.

  • Rab5 and Rab7 colocalize with FcRn inhibitor uptake in endothelial cells.

    “Our findings of Rab5 and Rab7 colocalization on FcRn inhibitor uptake are consistent with those of Gan and co-workers [37] using over-expressed, transfected FcRn in endothelial cells, identified with fluorescent labeled MST-HN IgG Fc.”

    From The uptake, intracellular trafficking and recycling of FcRn-blocking therapeutics in human endothelial cells in vitro (2026) · cites this paper as [37]

    The Results section, “Persistence of Rab5 on fusion competent, late endosomes” (page unavailable), reports Rab5 on FcRn-positive endosomes and Rab7 on late endosomes in transfected HMEC-1 endothelial cells. “Temporal aspects of lysosomal delivery” describes fluorescent MST-HN IgG as a tracer for FcRn, not an FcRn inhibitor; the paper therefore supports the trafficking comparison but not the claim about inhibitor uptake.

  • Investigating the return of recycled FcRn to the cell surface is problematic in endothelial cells, largely due to low cell surface expression and slow kinetics of intracellular FcRn return, which has necessitated (over)transfection of FcRn to study such pathways in endothelial cells.

    “Investigating the return of recycled FcRn to the cell surface has proved to be problematic in endothelial cells, largely due to the low cell surface expression and the slow kinetics for the return of intracellular FcRn, which, for practical reasons, has necessitated (over)transfection of FcRn to study such pathways in endothelial cells [6,8,37,39].”

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.
