A Novel High Content Imaging-Based Screen Identifies the Anti-Helminthic Niclosamide as an Inhibitor of Lysosome Anterograde Trafficking and Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Lysosome trafficking plays a significant role in tumor invasion, a key event for the development of metastasis. Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that the anterograde (outward) movement of lysosomes to the cell surface in response to

VCP-dependent muscle degeneration is linked to defects in a dynamic tubular lysosomal network in vivo. [PDF]
, 2015 Lysosomes are classically viewed as vesicular structures to which cargos are delivered for degradation. Here, we identify a network of dynamic, tubular lysosomes that extends throughout Drosophila muscle, in vivo. Live imaging reveals that autophagosomes

Neurophysiological, behavioral and morphological abnormalities in the Fabry knockout mice
Neurobiology of Disease, 2009 Fabry disease (OMIM 301500) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the α-galactosidase gene (GLA). Loss of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) activity leads to the abnormal accumulation of glycosphingolipids in lysosomes predominantly of ...

Genetic screen in Drosophila muscle identifies autophagy-mediated T-tubule remodeling and a Rab2 role in autophagy. [PDF]
, 2017 Transverse (T)-tubules make-up a specialized network of tubulated muscle cell membranes involved in excitation-contraction coupling for power of contraction. Little is known about how T-tubules maintain highly organized structures and contacts throughout

Lysosome assembly and disassembly changes endocytosis rate through the Leishmania cell cycle
MicrobiologyOpen, 2020 The Leishmania lysosome has an atypical structure, consisting of an elongated vesicle‐filled tubule running along the anterior–posterior axis of the cell, which is termed the multivesicular tubule (MVT) lysosome.

Calcium release through P2X4 activates calmodulin to promote endolysosomal membrane fusion [PDF]
, 2015 Intra-endolysosomal Ca(2+) release is required for endolysosomal membrane fusion with intracellular organelles. However, the molecular mechanisms for intra-endolysosomal Ca(2+) release and the downstream Ca(2+) targets involved in the fusion remain ...

Technical Note: The Use of RNA-interference as a Tool to Find Proteins Involved in Melanosome Formation or Transport [PDF]
, 2009 Melanosomes are lysosome-related organelles that produce and transport the pigment melanin within melanocytes. Mutations in proteins required for melanosome transport and formation lead to a range of pigmentation defects, manifested at the cellular level

Lysosome-endosome fusion and lysosome biogenesis [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2000 ABSTRACT Recent data both from cell-free experiments and from cultured cells have shown that lysosomes can fuse directly with late endosomes to form a hybrid organelle. This has a led to a hypothesis that dense core lysosomes are in essence storage granules for acid hydrolases and that, when the former fuse with late endosomes, a hybrid ...
