Retromer Binds the FANSHY Sorting Motif in SorLA to Regulate Amyloid Precursor Protein Sorting and Processing
Abstract
sorLA is a sorting receptor for amyloid precursor protein (APP) genetically linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Retromer, an adaptor complex in the endosome-to-Golgi retrieval pathway, has been implicated in APP transport because retromer deficiency leads to aberrant APP sorting and processing and levels of retromer proteins are altered in AD. Here we report that sorLA and retromer functionally interact in neurons to control trafficking and amyloidogenic processing of APP. We have identified a sequence (FANSHY) in the cytoplasmic domain of sorLA that is recognized by the VPS26 subunit of the retromer complex. Accordingly, we characterized the interaction between the retromer complex and sorLA and determined the role of retromer on sorLA-dependent sorting and processing of APP. Mutations in the VPS26 binding site resulted in receptor redistribution to the endosomal network, similar to the situation seen in cells with VPS26 knockdown. The sorLA mutant retained APP-binding activity but, as opposed to the wild-type receptor, misdirected APP into a distinct non-Golgi compartment, resulting in increased amyloid processing. In conclusion, our data provide a molecular link between reduced retromer expression and increased amyloidogenesis as seen in patients with sporadic AD.

Newly synthesized SorLA molecules follow the constitutive secretory pathway from the ER to the cell surface through the Golgi, and undergo post-translational modifications and maturation, resulting in immature and mature species.
“Newly synthesized SorLA molecules follow the constitutive secretory pathway from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cell surface, through the Golgi. During their transport through the secretory pathway, SorLA proteins are subjected to several post-translational modifications, including both N- and O-glycosylation, and maturation processes [3–9], resulting in the presence of immature and mature”
From Impaired SorLA maturation and trafficking as a new mechanism for SORL1 missense variants in Alzheimer disease (2021) · cites this paper as [6]
The Discussion describes SorLA moving through the secretory pathway to the cell surface. The section ‘Reduced expression of sorLA-FANSHY36A at the cell surface’ reports maturation through acquisition of glycosylation, and the Figure 4 legend labels immature and mature species. Our copy does not specify both N- and O-glycosylation or explicitly trace the initial route from the ER through the Golgi. (LLM, conf=0.86)

From The Alzheimer's Disease Gene SORL1 Regulates Lysosome Function in Human Microglia (2025) · cites this paper as Fjorback et al. 2012
The Introduction identifies SORL1 as the gene encoding sorLA and describes sorLA as a sorting receptor that binds and regulates APP trafficking. The Discussion describes its endosome-to-Golgi transport, but our copy does not establish that sorLA regulates trafficking of various substrates; its substantive findings concern APP.

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.
