Abstract excerpt
The maintenance of lysosome membrane integrity is vital for cell homeostasis and viability, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we identified a novel role of SPHK-1, the sole Caenorhabditis elegans sphingosine kinase, in protecting lysosome membrane integrity. Loss of SPHK-1 affects lysosomal integrity and degradative function, causing cargo accumulation and lysosome membrane...
