KIBRA controls exosome secretion via inhibiting the proteasomal degradation of Rab27a
Abstract
Exosomes are intercellular signaling vesicles created by fusion of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and the plasma membrane (PM), but secretory regulation is ill-defined. Song et al. show that KIBRA controls exosome secretion by protecting Rab27a from proteasomal degradation, promoting MVB-PM docking.
