Retrograde trafficking mediates the transport of endocytic membranes from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Dysregulation of these pathways can result in multiple ailments, including late-onset Alzheimer disease. One of the key retrograde transport regulators, the retromer complex, is tightly controlled by many factors, including the C-terminal Eps15 homology domain (EHD) proteins. This mini-review focuses on recent findings and discusses the regulation of the retromer complex by EHD proteins and the novel EHD1 interaction partner, Rabankyrin-5 (Rank-5).
