Journal ArticleDOI

Association of BMI1 with polycomb bodies is dynamic and requires PRC2/EZH2 and the maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 is necessary for proper PcG body assembly independent of DNMT-associated histone deacetylase activity and suggested a highly regulated recruitment of PRC1 to chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late endosomal transport and tethering are coupled processes controlled by RILP and the cholesterol sensor ORP1L.

TL;DR: It is described that lysosomal tethering and transport are combined processes co-regulated by one multi-protein complex: RAB7–RILP–ORP1L, which efficiently couples and regulates the timing of microtubule minus-end transport and fusion, two major events in endosomal biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol and ORP1L-mediated ER contact sites control autophagosome transport and fusion with the endocytic pathway

TL;DR: ORP1L, via its liganding by lipids and the formation of contacts between autophagic vacuoles and the ER, governs the last steps in autophagy that lead to the lysosomal degradation of cytosolic material.
