Early endosomes are intracellular sorting station for internalized molecules. In this study, we tried to identify some associated proteins and analyzed its molecular functions at early endosomes. As a result, dynamin, cotactin and actin cytoskeleton were identified as key players at at early endosomes. Moreover, we found that a phosphatidylinositol kinase, PI4KIIalpha, and its enzymatic product, PI(4)P, localized on early endosomes and are required for the transport from early endosomes. These results could be an important knowledge to understand the molecular mechanism of early endosomes.
