Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting ARF6 in lymphatic endothelial cells. Primary outcome: demonstration of ARF6 and exocyst complex roles in VE-cadherin trafficking
Following the proximity proteomics screen, the researchers conducted functional validation experiments to characterize the roles of specific identified interactors, particularly ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) and the exocyst complex, in VE-cadherin trafficking and recycling. These experiments likely involved cell biological approaches such as fluorescence microscopy, protein localization studies, and functional assays to demonstrate how these proteins contribute to VE-cadherin dynamics at adherens junctions. The study aimed to understand the molecular mechanisms by which these interactors regulate VE-cadherin trafficking between different cellular compartments and its recycling back to junctions.
