Lysosome damage triggers acute formation of ER to lysosomes membrane tethers mediated by the bridge-like lipid transport protein VPS13C

Xinbo Wang, Peng Xu, Amanda Bentley‐DeSousa…·Pietro V. De Camilli

The paper shows that VPS13C senses lysosome damage, relocates to lysosomes, and tethers them to the ER, suggesting a protective lipid transport response.

A complex of the lipid transport ER proteins TMEM24 and C2CD2 with band 4.1 at cell-cell contacts

Ben Johnson, Maria Iuliano, TuKiet T. Lam…·Pietro V. De Camilli

The paper identifies a complex of TMEM24 and C2CD2 with band 4.1 proteins at ER/PM junctions, showing their role in lipid transport and cell-cell contact regulation.

Activity-dependent endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ uptake depends on Kv2.1-mediated endoplasmic reticulum/plasma membrane junctions to promote synaptic transmission

Lauren C. Panzera, Ben Johnson, Josiah A. Quinn…·Michael B. Hoppa

This study shows that Kv2.1 channels form ER-PM junctions essential for ER Ca2+ uptake during neuronal activity, supporting synaptic transmission.
