The regulated release of peptide hormones depends on their packaging into dense-core vesicles (DCVs). Two models have been proposed for DCV cargo sorting. The \"sorting by entry\" model proposes that DCV cargos selectively enter nascent DCVs at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The \"sorting by exit\" model proposes that sorting occurs by the post-TGN removal of non-DCV cargos and retention of mature DCV cargos. Here we show that the coiled-coil protein CCDC186 controls sorting by exit. Ccdc186 KO insulinoma cells secrete less insulin, fail to retain insulin and carboxypeptidase E in mature DCVs at the cell periphery, and fail to remove carboxypeptidase D from immature DCVs. A mutation affecting the endosome-associated recycling protein (EARP) complex causes similar defects in DCV cargo retention and removal. CCDC186 and EARP may act together to control the post-Golgi retention of cargos in mature DCVs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
