مستخلص: The recently described retrograde transport route is a highly selective pathway that allows some internalized molecules to reach the trans‐Golgi network from early/recycling endosomes, bypassing the recycling route to the plasma membrane and the late endocytic pathway. The non‐toxic receptor‐binding B‐subunit of bacterial Shiga toxin has played an important role in the discovery and molecular dissection of membrane trafficking at the early/recycling endosomes–TGN interface. This unit describes several recent methods for quantitative biochemical and morphological analysis of retrograde transport. The sulfation assay permits the detection and quantification of cargo protein transport from endosomes to the TGN, describing how sulfation‐site peptides can be chemically coupled to cargo proteins. Furthermore, a variant of the sulfation assay on permeabilized cells is presented. The chemical crosslinking theme is extended to horseradish peroxidase for the ultrastructural study of the Shiga toxin–containing early/recycling endosomes by whole mount analysis. Finally, an endocytosis assay describes concomitant analysis of cellular uptake of Shiga toxin and transferrin.
