CASM regulates p62/KEAP1/NRF2 antioxidant responses to lysosome damage

Effective lysosome function is essential for health, and declines with ageing and disease. Upon lysosome damage, cells mount a complex stress response to restore homeostasis. Membrane ATG8ylation play...

Fantastic work by Aakriti Jain @aakritijain.bsky.social in team with Claire Goul and the Laboratory for Genome Research reveals the LASER pathway and its core component TFG as critical for rapid ESCRT-dependent lysosomal membrane repair, pointing to a deep connection with neurodegeneration!

So excited to share our new paper out today in @nature.com - 'LASER couples damage sensing to ESCRT assembly for lysosome repair'. This was an amazing collaborative effort with Claire Goul during our time in @robzonculab.bsky.social : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper, new tool! 🚨 Where a signaling protein lives matters as much as what it does. Our new tool lets you interrogate this one compartment at a time. We built TerminaTOR, a genetically encodable inhibitor that silences mTORC1 at subcellular locations.

With Kirsty and Natalie, excited about 93rd Harden Conference 'Endosomal-lysosomal network dysfunction in neurodegeneration'. 1st-4th Sept 2026 in UK. Opportunities for oral presentations selected from posters. 1st June deadline for cheaper registration!!! Come join us. Please, please spread widely.

Quick proteomics question: we want to use an exogenous biotin blocking scavenger for a TurboID experiment. We tried Biolock but is very inconsistent in our hands. Does anyone have another suggestion?

During #NeuronalDifferentiation, #organelles dramatically reorganize. #Microtubules are essential tracks for transport. But are they just highways, or can they instruct organelle behavior? Are tubulin modifications a regulatory code that guides organelle position or function? 1/9

New paper in @jcb.org! We found a new regulator of p62 phase separation, autophagy, and antioxidant signaling. It is an E3 ligase adaptor called SHKBP1, but the effect is via direct p62 binding, not ubiquitination. Congrats to Lin Luan & team! @weillinstitute.bsky.social

Ca2+ and DRP1 drive endocytic lysosome reformation at tripartite contact sites

Lysosomes are essential in maintaining cellular health. Endocytic lysosome reformation (ELR) regenerates functional lysosomes following degradation of endocytic cargo, yet the mechanisms driving this process remain largely unknown. Here, we define the molecular machinery underlying ELR. We find that unlike autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR), ELR proceeds independently of mTOR and dynamin 2, but requires the mitochondrial fission GTPase DRP1. DRP1 mediates scission of endolysosomal tubules at contact sites with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria. Disruption of DRP1 function or ER endolysosome contact results in elongated tubules, indicating defective lysosome reformation. Moreover, mitochondrial activity is essential for tubule initiation, and Ca2+ transfer from endolysosomes to mitochondria is crucial for ELR onset. Our findings reveal a dual role for mitochondria in ELR: first in ELR initiation and second in DRP1-dependent tubule fission at ER-mitochondria-endolysosome tripartite contact sites, uncovering the previously unappreciated role of mitochondria in endolysosome remodeling and fission. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
