Abstract

The concept of signaling endosomes originated from the observations that receptors activated at the plasma membrane can continue signaling after their endocytic internalization into endosomal compartments. In this chapter we discuss how the unique features of endosomes, such as their biochemical properties, regulated cytoskeleton-mediated transport or heterogeneity, can be exploited to modulate signal transduction. While endosomes may regulate the magnitude, kinetics, and specificity of the signals, they can also control the intracellular localization of signaling molecules and spatial signal propagation, thus contributing to cell polarization. In particular, we describe known mechanisms by which early or late endosomes act as platforms for signal propagation, diversification, or sequestration. Finally, we review some examples of how signaling endosomes contribute to the development or physiology of multicellular organisms and how aberrations in these processes may lead to pathologies.
