Vasquez-Limeta et al. use human cells engineered for fast degradation of centrosomal protein CPAP. Using superresolution microscopy, they show that CPAP insufficiency leads to centrioles with incomplete microtubule triplets that convert to centrosomes and duplicate, but fragment owing to loss of cohesion between microtubule blades.

VPS13 proteins are proposed to function at contact sites between organelles as bridges for lipids to move directionally and in bulk between organellar membranes. VPS13s are anchored between membranes via interactions with receptors, including both peripheral or integral membrane proteins. Here we present the crystal structure of VPS13s adaptor binding domain (VAB) complexed with a Pro-X-Pro peptide recognition motif present in one such receptor, the integral membrane protein Mcp1p, and show biochemically that other Pro-X-Pro motifs bind the VAB in the same site. We further demonstrate that Mcp1p and another integral membrane protein that interacts directly with human VPS13A, XK, are scramblases. This finding supports an emerging paradigm of a partnership between bulk lipid transport proteins and scramblases. Scramblases can re-equilibrate lipids between membrane leaflets as lipids are removed from or inserted into, respectively, the cytosolic leaflet of donor and acceptor organelles in the course of protein-mediated transport.

Varadarajan et al. find that calcium flashes regulate epithelial barrier function. Using live imaging, optogenetics, and laser-induced tight junction injury, they show that mechanosensitive channel-dependent calcium flashes promote sustained local activation of RhoA, allowing cells to repair tight junction leaks induced by mechanical stimuli.

Autophagosomes are double-membraned vesicles that traffic harmful or unwanted cellular macromolecules to the vacuole for recycling. Although autophagosome biogenesis has been extensively studied, mechanisms of autophagosome maturation, i.e., delivery and fusion with the vacuole, remain largely unknown in plants. Here, we have identified an autophagy adaptor, CFS1, that directly interacts with the autophagosome marker ATG8 and localizes on both membranes of the autophagosome. Autophagosomes form normally in Arabidopsis thaliana cfs1 mutants, but their delivery to the vacuole is disrupted. CFS1’s function is evolutionarily conserved in plants as it also localizes to the autophagosomes and plays a role in autophagic flux in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. CFS1 regulates autophagic flux by connecting autophagosomes with the ESCRT-I component VPS23, leading to the formation of amphisomes. Disrupting the VPS23-CFS1 interaction affects autophagic flux and renders plants sensitive to starvation stress. Altogether, our results reveal a deeply conserved mechanism of vacuolar delivery in plants that is mediated by amphisomes.
