Radulovic et al. show that phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P), produced by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase PIK3C3, is formed on ER domains after lysosome damage. ER domain PI3P helps to recruit...

The authors show that persistent ultrafine DNA bridges become coated by membranes and the ESCRT-III proteins CHMP1B and IST1, which protect the genome within from damage.

Although organellar compartmentalization is primarily established by the delimiting phospholipid bilayer membranes, the contribution of proteins has been less appreciated. Recently, studies across man...

Damage done, tubules on - Studying membrane damaged-induced lysosomal tubulation  - Default

Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) are specialized ER subdomains that regulate the export of secreted cargo. This Roadmap explores how ERES integrate biochemical and mechanical signals to coordinate trafficking and proposes a multidisciplinary strategy to investigate their function, including in disease.

Nature Cell Biology - Lee et al. use an aggregation-prone CLN4 mutant that causes lysosomal damage in neurons and show that in non-neurons, the ubiquitin ligase CHIP prevents CLN4-dependent...

Lysosomal vacuolation is commonly found in many pathophysiological conditions, but its molecular mechanisms and functions remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–anch...

Directional, non-vesicular lipid transport is responsible for fast, species-selective lipid sorting into organelle membranes.

Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that emerges at the cross-section of biology, physics and engineering. It aims to understand how living cells, tissues and animals sense and respond to me…

This Review examines recently gained insights into the roles of ESCRT complexes in viral infection, immunity, cancer and neurological disease.

The ESCRTs (Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport) were discovered in 2002 and became one of the most dynamic fields of research in membrane cell biology. ESCRTs are protein complexes fo…
