In the September 12th edition of biobytes, Tom Gaitanos (Max Planck

Institute of Neurobiology, Munich-Martinsried, Germany) describes how Rac signaling

mediates ephrin receptor trans-endocytosis (Gaitanos et

al.), and Peter Kim (Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada) explains

how amino acid starvation targets peroxisomes for autophagic degradation (Sargent et

al.). Plus a round-up of other highlights from The Journal of

Cell Biology. The show was written and produced by Caitlin Sedwick and

Ben Short. Presented by Ben Short. See the associated papers in

JCB for details on the funding provided to support these

original research studies.
