a Percentage of the total internalized through each pathway. Xfast = (kobskslow)/kfastkslow), Xslow = 1 − Xfast. ken(fast) = 0.6 min−1, ken(slow) = 0.053 min−1. ken(obs), PMobs, measured values from Figs. 1, 2, and 5 (fibroblasts) and Fig. 6 (adipocytes and AS160 KD adipocytes). PMsim, simulations of the three-step model: Δkfuse (fibroblasts) or dynamic retention, alternate fit (control and AS160 KD adipocytes) models (Table 2) with an additional fast direct recycling step from sorting endosomes to the PM with a single rate constant, krec, added to the models (supplemental Fig. 1F). krec(TfR) = 0.12 min−1 basal, 0.2 min−1 insulin; ksort(TfR) and kseq(TfR) = 0.
