| Open AccessPhosphoglycerate kinase 1 acts as a cargo adaptor to promote EGFR transport to the lysosome
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays important roles in cell growth and motility. Here, authors reveal an unexpected function for a metabolic enzyme PGK1 and advance the mechanistic understanding of lysosomal transport of EGFR.

| Open AccessStructure of the complete, membrane-assembled COPII coat reveals a complex interaction network
Cytosolic coat proteins capture secretory cargo and sculpt membrane carriers for intracellular transport, such as COPII which mediates Endoplasmic Reticulum to Golgi trafficking of thousands of cargoes. Here authors visualise the complete, membrane-assembled COPII coat by cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging, revealing the full network of interactions within and between coat layers.

| Open AccessSubtomogram averaging of COPII assemblies reveals how coat organization dictates membrane shape
The COPII coat assembles in two concentric layers and mediates protein export from the endoplasmic reticulum. Here the authors present the 4.9 Å resolution cryo-tomography and subtomogram averaging structure of the membrane bound COPII inner coat that was obtained by in vitro reconstitution and discuss mechanistic implications.

| Open AccessSec16 alternative splicing dynamically controls COPII transport efficiency
The transport of secretory proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi depends on COPII-coated vesicles. Here, the authors show that activation-induced alternative splicing of Sec16 controls adaptation of COPII transport to increased secretory cargo upon T cell activation.
