    Polarity-deficient epithelial cells are eliminated through Sas-Ptp10D-mediated suppression of EGFR signalling during cell competition. Here the authors show the constitutively active, phosphomimetic WASH can activate both EGFR and Hippo signalling and thereby, induces the overgrowth of these polarity-deficient cells in Drosophila and in proliferating epithelial cells, WASH activation differentially affects the separate recycling routes of EGFR and its inhibitor Ptp10D.

    OTULIN is a linear ubiquitin hydrolase that regulates ubiquitin homeostasis. Here the authors identify the adaptor of the endosomal retromer complex sorting nexin 27 (SNX27) as a binding partner of OTULIN and determine the structure of the OTULIN-SNX27 complex, which reveals a secondary interface through which OTULIN non-catalytically antagonizes SNX27 retromer assembly and cargo loading.

    Though ubiquitin is known to broadly influence endosomal trafficking, few ubiquitin-utilizing enzymes targeting endosomal regulators are known. Here, the authors find that the deubiquitylating enzyme (DUB) USP32 influences endosomal membrane dynamics by deubiquitinating Rab7.

    Sustained Wnt secretion requires the endosomal SNX3-retromer complex for endosome-to-trans-Golgi network transport of the internalised Wnt chaperone Wntless. Here the authors show that in both C. elegans and human cells, SNX3-retromer requires an evolutionary conserved membrane remodelling complex for Wntless sorting and Wnt secretion.

    Retromer is recruited to endosomes by the small GTPase Rab7 and sorting nexin 3. Here, the authors report the interaction between a GTPase-activating protein TBC1d5 and Rab7, examine the biochemical details of the interaction with retromer, and discuss the implications for receptor trafficking.
