New research from the De Camilli and Ferguson labs reveals a close relationship between the transport of lysosomes and cytoskeleton organization in neuronal axons through studies of human ipSC-derived neurons lacking JIP3/MAPK8IP3, a scaffold protein that is thought to link lysosomes to motors. These findings raise new questions about how the transport of cargos is coordinated with the structure and dynamics of multiple components of the axonal cytoskeleton. Answers to these questions may be relevant to human neurdevelopmental disease arising from mutations in the JIP3/MAPK8IP3 gene as well as for Alzheimer’s disease where lysosomes accumulate in axonal swellings at amyloid plaques.
