Schematic representation of exo- and endocytic pathways in Trypanosoma brucei. The known organelles involved in the processes of exo- and endocytosis in T. brucei are depicted: class I clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV I), class II clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV II), early endosomes (EE), endoplasmic reticulum (ER), exocytic carrier (EXC), flagellar pocket (FP), Golgi apparatus (G), lysosome (L), late endosomes (LE), nucleus (N), and recycling endosomes (RE). The endocytic compartment is marked by the presence of small GTPases of the Rab family: Rab5 (EE), Rab7 (LE), and Rab11 (RE). The arrows represent the direction of exo- and endocytic cargo of T. brucei. The question marks indicate pathways that may exist but are still unknown.
