Abstract
Autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR) is a cellular process in which lysosomes are reformed through scission of proto-lysosomes from tubular structures extruded from autolysosomes. Despite recent progress, the molecular mechanism of ALR is far from clear. A paper in this issue of The EMBO Journal has identified lysosome-localized PI(3)P, which is generated by the VPS34-UVRAG complex in an mTOR-dependent manner, as an important regulator of autolysosome tubule scission (Munson et al,). At the end of the autophagic process, lysosomes need to reform via autophagic lysosome reformation. Phospholipid PI(3)P aids in this process downstream of mTOR and VPS34-UVRAG activity.
