Neurons use viral-like particles to communicate remotely. However, the underlying biochemistry is unclear. To address this challenge, we combined quantitative imaging with cell biology to study how protein-lipid interaction facilitates the biogenesis and trafficking of Arc capsids in neurons. Results provide insights into trafficking mechanism shared by structurally resembled capsid proteins.
