Abstract
The subcellular localization of Ocrl, the inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase that is mutated in Lowe syndrome, was investigated by fluorescence microscopy. Ocrl was localized to endosomes and Golgi membranes along with clathrin, giantin, the mannose 6-phosphate receptor, transferrin, and the early endosomal antigen 1 endosomal marker in fixed cells. The endosomal localization of Ocrl was confirmed by live-cell time-lapse microscopy in which we monitored the dynamics of Ocrl on endosomes. GST binding assays show that Ocrl interacts with the clathrin terminal domain and the clathrin adaptor protein AP-2. Our findings suggest a role for Ocrl in endosomal receptor trafficking and sorting.Entities:
