چکیده

Sphingosine kinase 1 (Sphk1) associates with early endocytic membranes during endocytosis; however, the role of sphingosine or sphingosine-1-phosphate as the critical metabolite in endocytic trafficking has not been established. Here, we demonstrate that the recruitment of Sphk1 to sphingosine-enriched endocytic vesicles and the generation of sphingosine-1-phosphate facilitate membrane trafficking along the endosomal pathway. Exogenous sphingosine and sphingosine-based Sphk1 inhibitors induce the Sphk1-dependent fusion of endosomal membranes to accumulate enlarged late endosomes and amphisomes enriched in sphingolipids. Interestingly, Sphk1 also appears to facilitate endosomal fusion independent of its catalytic activity, given that catalytically inactive Sphk1G82D is recruited to endocytic membranes by sphingosine or sphingosine-based Sphk1 inhibitor and promotes membrane fusion. Furthermore, we reveal that the clearance of enlarged endosomes is dependent on the activity of ceramide synthase, lysosomal biogenesis, and the restoration of autophagic flux. Collectively, these studies uncover intersecting roles for Sphk1, sphingosine, and autophagic machinery in endocytic membrane trafficking.

Beclin-1-interacting autophagy protein Atg14L targets the SNARE-associated protein Snapin to coordinate endocytic trafficking.

Autophagy is a highly regulated membrane remodeling process that allows the lysosome-mediated degradation of cytoplasmic entities by sequestrating them in double-membrane autophagosomes. Autophagy is hence highly intertwined with the endocytic trafficking pathway, sharing similar molecular machinery. Atg14L, also known as Beclin 1-associated autophagy-related key regulator (Barkor), directly in...

Protein phosphatase 2A cooperates with the autophagy-related kinase UNC-51 to regulate axon guidance in Caenorhabditis elegans.

UNC-51 is a serine/threonine protein kinase conserved from yeast to humans. The yeast homolog Atg1 regulates autophagy (catabolic membrane trafficking) required for surviving starvation. In C. elegans, UNC-51 regulates the axon guidance of many neurons by a different mechanism than it and its homologs use for autophagy. UNC-51 regulates the subcellular localization (trafficking) of UNC-5, a rec...

The role of membrane-trafficking small GTPases in the regulation of autophagy.

Macroautophagy is a bulk degradation process characterised by the formation of double-membrane vesicles, called autophagosomes, which deliver cytoplasmic substrates for degradation in the lysosome. It has become increasingly clear that autophagy intersects with multiple steps of the endocytic and exocytic pathways, sharing many molecular players. A number of Rab and Arf GTPases that are involve...

Retrolinkin cooperates with endophilin A1 to mediate BDNF–TrkB early endocytic trafficking and signaling from early endosomes

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) binds to its cell surface receptor TrkB to regulate differentiation, development, synaptic plasticity, and functional maintenance of neuronal cells. Binding of BDNF triggers TrkB dimerization and autophosphorylation, which provides docking sites for adaptor proteins to recruit and activate downstream signaling molecules. The molecular mechanisms underlyi...

Endocytic Rabs in membrane trafficking and signaling.

The endolysosomal system controls the trafficking of proteins between the plasma membrane and the degradative environment of the lysosome. The early endosomal Rab5 and the late endosomal Rab7 GTPases have a key role in the transport along the endocytic pathway by recruiting tethering factors such as the hexameric CORVET and HOPS complexes that promote membrane fusion. Both Rabs are also involve...
