Abstract: | The direction and specificity of endolysosomal membrane trafficking is tightly regulated by various cytosolic and membrane-bound factors, including soluble NSF attachment protein receptors (SNAREs), Rab GTPases, and phosphoinositides. Another trafficking regulatory factor is juxta-organellar Ca(2+) , which is hypothesized to be released from the lumen of endolysosomes and to be present at higher concentrations near fusion/fission sites. The recent identification and characterization of several Ca(2+) channel proteins from endolysosomal membranes has provided a unique opportunity to examine the roles of Ca(2+) and Ca(2+) channels in the membrane trafficking of endolysosomes. SNAREs, Rab GTPases, and phosphoinositides have been reported to regulate plasma membrane ion channels, thereby suggesting that these trafficking regulators may also modulate endolysosomal dynamics by controlling Ca(2+) flux across endolysosomal membranes. In this paper, we discuss the roles of phosphoinositides, Ca(2+) , and potential interactions between endolysosomal Ca(2+) channels and phosphoinositides in endolysosomal dynamics. |
