Lysosomal Ca²⁺ contributes to macroautophagy/autophagy, an intracellular process for the degradation of cytoplasmic material and organelles in the lysosomes to protect cells against stress responses. TMBIM6 (transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif containing 6) is a Ca²⁺ channel-like protein known to regulate ER stress response and apoptosis. In this study, we examined the as yet unknown role of TMBIM6 in regulating lysosomal Ca²⁺ levels. The Ca²⁺ efflux from the ER through TMBIM6 was found to increase the resting lysosomal Ca²⁺ level, in which ITPR-independent regulation of Ca²⁺ status was observed. Further, TMBIM6 regulated the local release of Ca²⁺ through lysosomal MCOLN1/TRPML1 channels under nutrient starvation or MTOR inhibition. The local Ca²⁺ efflux through MCOLN1 channels was found to activate PPP3/calcineurin, triggering TFEB (transcription factor EB) nuclear translocation, autophagy induction, and lysosome biogenesis. Upon genetic inactivation of TMBIM6, lysosomal Ca²⁺ and the associated TFEB nuclear translocation were decreased. Furthermore, autophagy flux was significantly enhanced in the liver or kidney from starved Tmbim6^+/+ mice compared with that in the counter tmbim6^-/- mice. Together, our observations indicated that under stress conditions, TMBIM6 increases lysosomal Ca²⁺ release, leading to PPP3/calcineurin-mediated TFEB activation and subsequently enhanced autophagy. Thus, TMBIM6, an ER membrane protein, is suggested to be a lysosomal Ca²⁺ modulator that coordinates with autophagy to alleviate metabolism stress.Abbreviations: AVs: autophagic vacuoles; CEPIA: calcium-measuring organelle-entrapped protein indicator; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; GPN: glycyl-L-phenylalanine-beta-naphthylamide; ITPR/IP3R: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; MCOLN/TRPML: mucolipin; MEF: mouse embryonic fibroblast; ML-SA1: mucolipin synthetic agonist 1; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase complex 1; RPS6KB1: ribosomal protein S6 kinase B1; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TFEB: transcription factor EB; TKO: triple knockout; TMBIM6/BI-1: transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif containing 6.

Lysosomes serve as cellular degradation and signalling centres that coordinate metabolism in response to intracellular cues and extracellular signals. Lysosomal capacity is adapted to cellular needs by transcription factors, such as TFEB and TFE3, which activate the expression of lysosomal and autophagy genes. Nuclear translocation and activation of TFEB are induced by a variety of conditions such as starvation, lysosome stress and lysosomal storage disorders. How these various cues are integrated remains incompletely understood. Here, we describe a pathway initiated at the plasma membrane that controls lysosome biogenesis via the endocytic regulation of intracellular ion homeostasis. This pathway is based on the exo-endocytosis of NHE7, a Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger mutated in X-linked intellectual disability, and serves to control intracellular ion homeostasis and thereby Ca²⁺/calcineurin-mediated activation of TFEB and downstream lysosome biogenesis in response to osmotic stress to promote the turnover of toxic proteins and cell survival.

Macroautophagy/autophagy delivers cytoplasmic cargo to lysosomes for degradation. In yeast, the single Atg8 protein plays a role in the formation of autophagosomes whereas in mammalian cells there are five to seven paralogs, referred to as mammalian Atg8s (mAtg8s: GABARAP, GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2, LC3A, LC3B, LC3B2 and LC3C) with incompletely defined functions. Here we show that a subset of mAtg8s directly control lysosomal biogenesis. This occurs at the level of TFEB, the principal regulator of the lysosomal transcriptional program. mAtg8s promote TFEB's nuclear translocation in response to stimuli such as starvation. GABARAP interacts directly with TFEB, whereas RNA-Seq analyses reveal that knockout of six genes encoding mAtg8s, or a triple knockout of the genes encoding all GABARAPs, diminishes the TFEB transcriptional program. We furthermore show that GABARAPs in cooperation with other proteins, IRGM, a factor implicated in tuberculosis and Crohn disease, and STX17, are required during starvation for optimal inhibition of MTOR, an upstream kinase of TFEB, and activation of the PPP3/calcineurin phosphatase that dephosphorylates TFEB, thus promoting its nuclear translocation. In conclusion, mAtg8s, IRGM and STX17 control lysosomal biogenesis by their combined or individual effects on MTOR, TFEB, and PPP3/calcineurin, independently of their roles in the formation of autophagosomal membranes.
