The lysosome has long been viewed as the recycling center of the cell. However, recent discoveries have challenged this simple view and have established a central role of the lysosome in nutrient-dependent signal transduction. The degradative role of the lysosome and its newly discovered signaling functions are not in conflict but rather cooperate extensively to mediate fundamental cellular activities such as nutrient sensing, metabolic adaptation, and quality control of proteins and organelles…

The Lysosome and Intracellular Signalling.

The cytosolic surface of the limiting membrane of the lysosome is the site of activation of the multiprotein complex mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), which phosphorylates numerous cell growth-related substrates, including transcription factor EB (TFEB).

Cp1/cathepsin L is required for autolysosomal clearance in Drosophila

Proteomic analysis of Drosophila larval midguts during degradation identifies a group of proteins with peptidase activity, suggesting a role in autophagy-dependent cell death, and provides evidence that cathepsins play an essential role in the autolysosome to maintain basal Autophagy flux by balancing autophagosome production and turnover.

Signals from the lysosome: a control centre for cellular clearance and energy metabolism

The identification of a master regulator, transcription factor EB (TFEB), that regulates lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy has revealed how the lyssome adapts to environmental cues, such as starvation, and targeting TFEB may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for modulating lysOSomal function in human disease.

Characterization of the CLEAR network reveals an integrated control of cellular clearance pathways.

This analysis revealed a comprehensive system regulating the expression, import and activity of lysosomal enzymes that control the degradation of proteins, glycosaminoglycans, sphingolipids and glycogen, and provides potential therapeutic targets to modulate cellular clearance in a variety of disease conditions.

This Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster present the current LC3 protein interaction network, which has been and continues to be vital for gaining insight into the regulation of autophagy.

A Gene Network Regulating Lysosomal Biogenesis and Function

It is found that most lysosomal genes exhibit coordinated transcriptional behavior and are regulated by the transcription factor EB (TFEB), providing a potential therapeutic target to enhance cellular clearing in lysOSomal storage disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

Is the Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase involved in the regulation of ribophagy?

Data is presented on a potential role of the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 as a positive regulator of ribophagy, and the possible involvement of ubiquit in as a signaling molecule in this process.

A lysosome-to-nucleus signalling mechanism senses and regulates the lysosome via mTOR and TFEB

It is shown that the Transcription Factor EB (TFEB), a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis, colocalizes with master growth regulator mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) on the lysOSomal membrane and the Rag GTPase complex is both necessary and sufficient to regulate starvation‐ and stress‐induced nuclear translocation of TFEB.

Lysosomal signaling molecules regulate longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans

In the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, the lysosomal acid lipase LIPL-4 triggered nuclear translocalization of a lysOSomal lipid chaperone LBP-8, which promoted longevity by activating the nuclear hormone receptors N HR-49 and NHR-80 and promoted longevity in C. elegans.

The cellular pathology of lysosomal diseases

The cryptic evolution of events leading to irreversible changes may be dissociated from the cellular storage phenotype, as revealed by the outcome of therapeutic gene transfer undertaken at different stages of disease.
