Journal ArticleDOI

TPC proteins are phosphoinositide- activated sodium-selective ion channels in endosomes and lysosomes.

TL;DR: It is shown that, in contrast to previous conclusions, TPCs are in fact sodium-selective channels activated by PI(3,5)P(2) and are not activated by NAADP, and the primary endolysosomal ion is Na(+), not K(+, as had been previously assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid storage disorders block lysosomal trafficking by inhibiting a TRP channel and lysosomal calcium release

TL;DR: In NP-type C cells, increasing TRPML1's expression or activity was sufficient to correct the trafficking defects and reduce lysosome storage and cholesterol accumulation, and it is proposed that abnormal accumulation of luminal lipids causes secondary lysOSome storage by blocking TRP ML1- and Ca(2+)-dependent lyssomal trafficking.
Journal ArticleDOI

MCOLN1 is a ROS sensor in lysosomes that regulates autophagy

TL;DR: It is shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) activate TFEB via a lysosomal Ca2+-dependent mechanism independent of mTOR, which triggers calcineurin-dependent T FEB-nuclear translocation, autophagy induction and lysOSome biogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A molecular mechanism to regulate lysosome motility for lysosome positioning and tubulation

TL;DR: It is shown that TRPML1 activity is required to promote Ca2+-dependent centripetal movement of lysosomes towards the perinuclear region (where autophagosomes accumulate) following autophagy induction.
