Abstract
Lipid transfer proteins mediate the transfer of lipids between organelle membranes, and the loss of function of these proteins has been linked to neurodegeneration. However, the mechanism by which loss of lipid transfer activity leads to neurodegeneration is not understood. In Drosophila photoreceptors, depletion of retinal degeneration B (RDGB), a phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, leads to defective phototransduction and retinal degeneration, but the mechanism by which loss of this activity leads to retinal degeneration is not understood. RDGB is localized to membrane contact sites through the interaction of its FFAT motif with the ER integral protein VAP. To identify regulators of RDGB function in vivo, we depleted more than 300 VAP-interacting proteins and identified a set of 52 suppressors of rdgB The molecular identity of these suppressors indicates a role of novel lipids in regulating RDGB function and of transcriptional and ubiquitination processes in mediating retinal degeneration in rdgB9 The human homologs of several of these molecules have been implicated in neurodevelopmental diseases underscoring the importance of VAP-mediated processes in these disorders.

Abstract
The mechanisms that regulate the spatial sorting of nonmuscle myosins-2 (NM2) isoforms and couple them mechanically to the plasma membrane are unclear. Here we show that the cytoplasmic junctional proteins cingulin (CGN) and paracingulin (CGNL1) interact directly with NM2s through their C-terminal coiled-coil sequences. CGN binds strongly to NM2B, and CGNL1 to NM2A and NM2B. Knockout (KO), exogenous expression, and rescue experiments with WT and mutant proteins show that the NM2-binding region of CGN is required for the junctional accumulation of NM2B, ZO-1, ZO-3, and phalloidin-labeled actin filaments, and for the maintenance of tight junction membrane tortuosity and apical membrane stiffness. CGNL1 expression promotes the junctional accumulation of both NM2A and NM2B and its KO results in myosin-dependent fragmentation of adherens junction complexes. These results reveal a mechanism for the junctional localization of NM2A and NM2B and indicate that, by binding to NM2s, CGN and CGNL1 mechanically couple the actomyosin cytoskeleton to junctional protein complexes to mechanoregulate the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites between organelles are organized by protein bridges. Among the components of these contacts, the VAP family comprises ER-anchored proteins, such as MOSPD2, that function as major ER-organelle tethers. MOSPD2 distinguishes itself from the other members of the VAP family by the presence of a CRAL-TRIO domain. In this study, we show that MOSPD2 forms ER-lipid droplet (LD) contacts, thanks to its CRAL-TRIO domain. MOSPD2 ensures the attachment of the ER to LDs through a direct protein-membrane interaction. The attachment mechanism involves an amphipathic helix that has an affinity for lipid packing defects present at the surface of LDs. Remarkably, the absence of MOSPD2 markedly disturbs the assembly of lipid droplets. These data show that MOSPD2, in addition to being a general ER receptor for inter-organelle contacts, possesses an additional tethering activity and is specifically implicated in the biology of LDs via its CRAL-TRIO domain.

Abstract
Organelles are physically connected in membrane contact sites. The endoplasmic reticulum possesses three major receptors, VAP‐A, VAP‐B, and MOSPD2, which interact with proteins at the surface of other organelles to build contacts. VAP‐A, VAP‐B, and MOSPD2 contain an MSP domain, which binds a motif named FFAT (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract). In this study, we identified a non‐conventional FFAT motif where a conserved acidic residue is replaced by a serine/threonine. We show that phosphorylation of this serine/threonine is critical for non‐conventional FFAT motifs (named Phospho‐FFAT) to be recognized by the MSP domain. Moreover, structural analyses of the MSP domain alone or in complex with conventional and Phospho‐FFAT peptides revealed new mechanisms of interaction. Based on these new insights, we produced a novel prediction algorithm, which expands the repertoire of candidate proteins with a Phospho‐FFAT that are able to create membrane contact sites. Using a prototypical tethering complex made by STARD3 and VAP, we showed that phosphorylation is instrumental for the formation of ER‐endosome contacts, and their sterol transfer function. This study reveals that phosphorylation acts as a general switch for inter‐organelle contacts.

Abstract
Enteroviruses, members of the Picornaviridae family, are non-enveloped and single-stranded RNA viruses responsible for several human diseases. During infection, these viruses build membrane-bound organelles, called replication organelles (ROs), where new virions are assembled. ROs are highly enriched in phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) produced by the host lipid kinase PI4KB. In this issue of EMBO Reports, McPhail et al [1] characterize a complex, formed by PI4KB and the c10orf76 protein, which is involved in PI4P production. They show that this machinery is hijacked by specific enteroviruses such as coxsackievirus A10 for their replication.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells are partitioned into functionally distinct organelles. Long considered as independent units in the cytosol, organelles are actually in constant and direct interaction with each other, mostly through the establishment of physical connections named membrane contact sites. Membrane contact sites constitute specific active regions involved in organelle dynamics, inter-organelle exchanges and communications. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which spreads throughout the cytosol, forms an extensive network that has many connections with the other organelles of the cell. Ample connections between the ER and endocytic organelles are observed in many cell types, highlighting their prominent physiological roles. Even though morphologically similar - a contact is a contact -, the identity of ER-Endosome contacts is defined by their specific molecular composition, which in turn determines the function of the contact. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of ER-Endosome contact site formation and their associated cellular functions. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Endoplasmic reticulum platforms for lipid dynamics edited by Shamshad Cockcroft and Christopher Stefan.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites are cellular structures that mediate interorganelle exchange and communication. The two major tether proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), VAP-A and VAP-B, interact with proteins from other organelles that possess a small VAP-interacting motif, named FFAT [two phenylalanines (FF) in an acidic track (AT)]. In this study, using an unbiased proteomic approach, we identify a novel ER tether named motile sperm domain-containing protein 2 (MOSPD2). We show that MOSPD2 possesses a Major Sperm Protein (MSP) domain which binds FFAT motifs and consequently allows membrane tethering in vitro MOSPD2 is an ER-anchored protein, and it interacts with several FFAT-containing tether proteins from endosomes, mitochondria, or Golgi. Consequently, MOSPD2 and these organelle-bound proteins mediate the formation of contact sites between the ER and endosomes, mitochondria, or Golgi. Thus, we characterized here MOSPD2, a novel tethering component related to VAP proteins, bridging the ER with a variety of distinct organelles.
