Upon nutrient starvation, autophagy digests unwanted cellular components to generate catabolites that are required for housekeeping biosynthesis processes. A complete execution of autophagy demands an enhancement in lysosome function and biogenesis to match the increase in autophagosome formation. Here, we report that mucolipin-1 (also known as TRPML1 or ML1), a Ca 2+ channel in the lysosome that regulates many aspects of lysosomal trafficking, plays a central role in this quality-control process. By using Ca 2+ imaging and whole-lysosome patch clamping, lysosomal Ca 2+ release and ML1 currents were detected within hours of nutrient starvation and were potently up-regulated. In contrast, lysosomal Na + -selective currents were not upregulated. Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) or activation of transcription factor EB (TFEB) mimicked a starvation effect in fed cells. The starvation effect also included an increase in lysosomal proteostasis and enhanced clearance of lysosomal storage, including cholesterol accumulation in Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) cells. However, this effect was not observed when ML1 was pharmacologically inhibited or genetically deleted. Furthermore, overexpression of ML1 mimicked the starvation effect. Hence, lysosomal adaptation to environmental cues such as nutrient levels requires mTOR/TFEB-dependent, lysosome-to-nucleus regulation of lysosomal ML1 channels and Ca 2+ signaling.

“…9,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32] The role of the v-ATPase in MTORC1 activation is unequivocal and well described for multiple cell lines. 4 However, mutations in genes encoding GATOR1 proteins, makes MTORC1 signaling resistant to a v-ATPase inhibitor, thereby providing a possibility that v-ATPase-dependent MTORC1 regulation might differ in different cellular settings.…”

It is generally accepted that lysosomes facilitate MTORC1 activation by generating an internal pool of amino acids. Amino acids activate MTORC1 by stimulating its translocation to the lysosomal membrane where it forms a super-complex involving the lysosomal-membrane-bound vacuolar-type H C -ATPase (v-ATPase) proton pump. This translocation and MTORC1 activation require functional lysosomes. Here we found that, in contrast to this well-accepted concept, in epiphyseal chondrocytes inhibition of lysosomal activity by v-ATPase inhibitors bafilomycin A 1 or concanamycin A potently activated MTORC1 signaling. The activity of MTORC1 was visualized by phosphorylated forms of RPS6 (ribosomal protein S6) and EIF4EBP1, 2 well-known downstream targets of MTORC1. Maximal RPS6 phosphorylation was observed at 48-h treatment and reached as high as a 12-fold increase (p < 0.018). This activation of MTORC1 was further confirmed in bone organ culture and promoted potent stimulation of longitudinal growth (p < 0.001). Importantly, the same effect was observed in ATG5 (autophagy-related 5)-deficient bones suggesting a macroautophagy-independent mechanism of MTORC1 inhibition by lysosomes. Thus, our data show that in epiphyseal chondrocytes lysosomes inhibit MTORC1 in a macroautophagy-independent manner and this inhibition likely depends on v-ATPase activity.

“…Additionally, since a proportion of PIK3C3 complexes are involved in the endosomal system and are plausibly important for proper lysosomal function, 75,76,111,123 Pik3c3 ablation may affect the activation of MTORC1 by amino acids at the lysosome, which is dependent on the function of several lysosomal proteins 55-57 and normal lysosomal degradation. 122,124 In contrast, yeast Vps34 is the sole PtdIns3K and it functions only in vacuolar trafficking/autophagy but not in the TORC1 regulatory network; 125 whether and why mammalian PIK3C3 has evolved to harbor bifurcate functions in MTOR modulation and autophagy is a mystifying question. This perplexing issue notwithstanding, the paradoxical roles of PIK3C3 in MTOR stimulation in response to amino acid and autophagy induction highlight PIK3C3 as a key node in the cell signaling network, worthy of intensive study.…”

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PtdIns3Ks) and phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are involved in the autophagic process. Here we aim to recapitulate how 3 classes of these lipid kinases differentially regulate autophagy. Generally, activation of the class I PI3K suppresses autophagy, via the well-established PI3K-AKT-MTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) complex 1 (MTORC1) pathway. In contrast, the class III PtdIns3K catalytic subunit PIK3C3/Vps34 forms a protein complex with BECN1 and PIK3R4 and produces phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P), which is required for the initiati...
