Lysosome assembly and disassembly changes endocytosis rate through the Leishmania cell cycle

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 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.

Rag GTPases are cardioprotective by regulating lysosomal function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Rag family proteins are Ras-like small GTPases that have a critical role in amino-acid-stimulated mTORC1 activation by recruiting mTORC1 to lysosome.

Trehalose causes low-grade lysosomal stress to activate TFEB and the autophagy-lysosome biogenesis response

open access: yesAutophagy, 2021
The autophagy-lysosome system is an important cellular degradation pathway that recycles dysfunctional organelles and cytotoxic protein aggregates. A decline in this system is pathogenic in many human diseases including neurodegenerative disorders, fatty

The Biogenesis of Lysosomes and Lysosome-Related Organelles [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2014
Lysosomes were once considered the end point of endocytosis, simply used for macromolecule degradation. They are now recognized to be dynamic organelles, able to fuse with a variety of targets and to be re-formed after fusion events. They are also now known to be the site of nutrient sensing and signaling to the cell nucleus. In addition, lysosomes are

Alginate oligosaccharides can maintain activities of lysosomes under low pH condition

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The objective of this study was to report that lysosome extracted from egg white could be used as a drug through oral administration for treating diseases by using pH sensitive alginate oligosaccharides.

IKK phosphorylates Huntingtin and targets it for degradation by the proteasome and lysosome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Expansion of the polyglutamine repeat within the protein Huntingtin (Htt) causes Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with aging and the accumulation of mutant Htt in diseased neurons.

A proteolytic cascade controls lysosome rupture and necrotic cell death mediated by lysosome-destabilizing adjuvants. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Recent studies have linked necrotic cell death and proteolysis of inflammatory proteins to the adaptive immune response mediated by the lysosome-destabilizing adjuvants, alum and Leu-Leu-OMe (LLOMe). However, the mechanism by which lysosome-destabilizing

Beyond self-eating: The control of nonautophagic functions and signaling pathways by autophagy-related proteins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The identification of conserved autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) that mediate bulk degradation of cytosolic material laid the foundation for breakthroughs linking autophagy to a litany of physiological processes and disease conditions.

Mitochondria-lysosome contacts regulate mitochondrial Ca2+ dynamics via lysosomal TRPML1

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Mitochondria and lysosomes are critical for cellular homeostasis and defects in both organelles are observed in several diseases. Recently, contact sites between mitochondria and lysosomes were identified and found to modulate mitochondrial ...

Proteomics of the lysosome

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2009
Defects in lysosomal function have been associated with numerous monogenic human diseases typically classified as lysosomal storage diseases. However, there is increasing evidence that lysosomal proteins are also involved in more widespread human diseases including cancer and Alzheimer disease.
