Article Abstract
Elucidation of the membranes contributing to autophagosomes has been a critical question in the field, and an area of active research. Recently, we showed that key events in autophagosome formation, from PtdIns3P formation/WIPI2 recruitment to LC3-GABARAP membrane conjugation, occur on the RAB11A-positive compartment (recycling endosomes). This observation raised the question of how the LC3-positive autophagosome precursors detach from the recycling endosome. We recently observed that DNM2 (dynamin 2) mediates this step, and described how the DNM2 mutation that causes centronuclear myopathy (CNM) leads to the accumulation of autophagic structures on recycling endosomes, thereby stalling macroautophagy/autophagy. This physiologically important step highlights the importance of understanding release of nascent autophagosomes from the recycling endosomes as part of the autophagy itinerary.

PI(3)P coordinates SNX17- and SNX27-dependent protein recycling for long-term synaptic plasticity.

Two major protein recycling pathways have emerged as key regulators of enduring forms of synaptic plasticity, such as long-term potentiation (LTP), yet how these pathways are recruited during plasticity is unknown. Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI(3)P) is a key regulator of endosomal trafficking and alterations in this lipid have been linked to neurodegeneration. Here, using primary hippocampal neurons, we demonstrate dynamic PI(3)P synthesis during chemical induction of LTP (cLTP), which drives coordinate recruitment of the SNX17-Retriever and SNX27-Retromer pathways to endosomes and synaptic sites.

BLTP2/KIAA0100, a bridge-like lipid transfer protein, was reported to localize at contacts of the ER with either the plasma membrane (PM) or recycling tubular endosomes depending on the cell type. Our findings suggest that mediating bulk lipid transport between the ER and the PM is a key function of this protein, as BLTP2 tethers the ER to tubular endosomes only after they become continuous with the PM and that it also tethers the ER to macropinosomes in the process of fusing with the PM. We further identify interactions underlying binding of BLTP2 to the PM, including phosphoinositides, the adaptor proteins FAM102A/FAM102B, and N-BAR domain proteins at membrane-connected tubules.

CD36 is a multifunctional lipid transporter that facilitates long-chain fatty acid uptake and orchestrates metabolic signaling in energy-demanding tissues. Recent studies have uncovered site-specific palmitoylation as a crucial post-translational modification that governs CD36 subcellular trafficking, stabilizing its localization within lipid rafts and regulating its endocytic recycling between the plasma membrane, endosomes, and lipid droplets. This dynamic palmitoylation-depalmitoylation cycle enables CD36 to spatially and temporally couple lipid transport with signal transduction in response to nutritional and hormonal cues.

Background: During infection with the cytomegalovirus (CMV), the membrane system of the infected cell is remodelled into a megastructure called the assembly compartment (AC). These extensive changes may involve the manipulation of the host cell proteome by targeting a pleiotropic function of the cell such as ubiquitination (Ub). In this study, we investigate whether the Ub system is required for the establishment and maintenance of the AC in murine CMV (MCMV)-infected cells Methods: NIH3T3 cells were infected with wild-type and recombinant MCMVs and the Ub system was inhibited with PYR-41.

Neurodegeneration is increasingly recognized not as a linear trajectory of protein accumulation, but as a multidimensional collapse of biological organization-spanning intracellular signaling, transcriptional identity, proteostatic integrity, organelle communication, and network-level computation. This review intends to synthesize emerging frameworks that reposition neurodegenerative diseases (ND) as progressive breakdowns of interpretive cellular logic, rather than mere terminal consequences of protein aggregation or synaptic attrition. The discussion aims to provide a detailed mapping of how critical signaling pathways-including PI3K-AKT-mTOR, MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, and integrated stress response cascades-undergo spatial and temporal disintegration.
