Journal ArticleDOI

Termination of autophagy and reformation of lysosomes regulated by mTOR

TL;DR: It is shown that mTOR signalling in rat kidney cells is inhibited during initiation of autophagy, but reactivated by prolonged starvation, and this generates proto-lysosomal tubules and vesicles that extrude from autolysosomes and ultimately mature into functional lysosomes, thereby restoring the full complement of lysosity in the cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte granules are secretory lysosomes, containing both perforin and granzymes.

TL;DR: In this article, the subcellular localization of perforin, granzymes, and known endosomal and lysosomal marker proteins was determined in human and murine CTL, by immunogold labeling of ultrathin cryosections followed by electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Segregation of MHC class II molecules from MHC class I molecules in the Golgi complex for transport to lysosomal compartments.

TL;DR: The intracellular distribution of MHC class I and class II molecules reflects the dichotomy in presentation of antigen from endogenous and exogenous origin, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

PTRF-Cavin, a Conserved Cytoplasmic Protein Required for Caveola Formation and Function

TL;DR: It is concluded that PTRF-Cavin is required for caveola formation and sequestration of mobile caveolin into immobile caveolae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sorting Nexin-1 Mediates Tubular Endosome-to-TGN Transport through Coincidence Sensing of High- Curvature Membranes and 3-Phosphoinositides

TL;DR: The data support an evolutionarily conserved function for SNX1 from yeast to mammals and provide functional insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid-mediated protein targeting and tubular-based protein sorting.
