Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Loss of function of the 2Cl - /H + antiporter ClC-5 in Dent disease causes an unknown impairment in endocytic traffic, leading to tubular proteinuria. The authors integrated data from biochemical and quantitative imaging studies in proximal tubule cells into a mathematical model to determine that loss of ClC-5 impairs endosome acidification and delays early endosome maturation in proximal tubule cells, resulting in reduced megalin recycling, surface expression, and half-life. Studies in a Dent mouse model also revealed subsegment-specific differences in the effects of ClC-5 knockout on proximal tubule subsegments. The approach provides a template to dissect the effects of mutations or perturbations that alter tubular recovery of filtered proteins from the level of individual cells to the entire proximal tubule axis. BACKGROUND Loss of function of the 2Cl - /H + antiporter ClC-5 in Dent disease impairs the uptake of filtered proteins by the kidney proximal tubule, resulting in tubular proteinuria. Reduced posttranslational stability of megalin and cubilin, the receptors that bind to and recover filtered proteins, is believed to underlie the tubular defect. How loss of ClC-5 leads to reduced receptor expression remains unknown. METHODS We used biochemical and quantitative imaging data to adapt a mathematical model of megalin traffic in ClC-5 knockout and control cells. Studies in ClC-5 knockout mice were performed to describe the effect of ClC-5 knockout on megalin traffic in the S1 segment and along the proximal tubule axis. RESULTS The model predicts that ClC-5 knockout cells have reduced rates of exit from early endosomes, resulting in decreased megalin recycling, surface expression, and half-life. Early endosomes had lower [Cl - ] and higher pH. We observed more profound effects in ClC-5 knockout cells expressing the pathogenic ClC-5 E211G mutant. Alterations in the cellular distribution of megalin in ClC-5 knockout mice were consistent with delayed endosome maturation and reduced recycling. Greater reductions in megalin expression were observed in the proximal tubule S2 cells compared with S1, with consequences to the profile of protein retrieval along the proximal tubule axis. CONCLUSIONS Delayed early endosome maturation due to impaired acidification and reduced [Cl - ] accumulation is the primary mediator of reduced proximal tubule receptor expression and tubular proteinuria in Dent disease. Rapid endosome maturation in proximal tubule cells is critical for the efficient recovery of filtered proteins.

Abstract
Cell-cell communication is an essential process in life, with endosomes acting as key organelles for regulating uptake and secretion of signaling molecules. Endocytosed material is accepted by the sorting endosome where it either is sorted for recycling or remains in the endosome as it matures to be degraded in the lysosome. Investigation of the endosome maturation process has been hampered by the small size and rapid movement of endosomes in most cellular systems. Here, we report an easy versatile live-cell imaging assay to monitor endosome maturation kinetics, which can be applied to a variety of mammalian cell types. Acute ionophore treatment led to enlarged early endosomal compartments that matured into late endosomes and fused with lysosomes to form endolysosomes. Rab5-to-Rab7 conversion and PI(3)P formation and turn over were recapitulated with this assay and could be observed with a standard widefield microscope. We used this approach to show that Snx1 and Rab11-positive recycling endosome recruitment occurred throughout endosome maturation and was uncoupled from Rab conversion. In contrast, efficient endosomal acidification was dependent on Rab conversion. The assay provides a powerful tool to further unravel various aspects of endosome maturation.

Abstract
ER tubules form and maintain membrane contact sites (MCSs) with endosomes. How and why these ER-endosome MCSs persist as endosomes traffic and mature is poorly understood. Here we find that a member of the reticulon protein family, Reticulon-3L (Rtn3L), enriches at ER-endosome MCSs as endosomes mature. We show that this localization is due to the long divergent N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of Rtn3L. We found that Rtn3L is recruited to ER-endosome MCSs by endosomal protein Rab9a, which marks a transition stage between early and late endosomes. Rab9a utilizes an FSV region to recruit Rtn3L via its six LC3-interacting region motifs. Consistent with our localization results, depletion or deletion of RTN3 from cells results in endosome maturation and cargo sorting defects, similar to RAB9A depletion. Together our data identify a tubular ER protein that promotes endosome maturation at ER MCSs.

Abstract
The small GTPase Ras-related protein Rab-7a (Rab7a) serves as a key organizer of the endosomal-lysosomal system. However, molecular mechanisms controlling Rab7a activation levels and subcellular translocation are still poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that type Igamma phosphatidylinositol phosphate 5-kinase i5 (PIPKIγi5), an endosome-localized enzyme that produces phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, directly interacts with Rab7a and plays critical roles in the control of the endosomal-lysosomal system. The loss of PIPKIγi5 blocks Rab7a recruitment to early endosomes, which prevents the maturation of early to late endosomes. PIPKIγi5 loss disturbs retromer complex connection with Rab7a, which blocks the retrograde sorting of Cation-independent Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor from late endosomes. This leads to the decreased sorting of hydrolases to lysosomes and reduces the autophagic degradation. By modulating the retromer-Rab7a connection, PIPKIγi5 is also required for the recruitment of the GTPase-activating protein TBC1 domain family member 5 to late endosomes, which controls the conversion of Rab7a from the active state to the inactive state. Thus, PIPKIγi5 is critical for the modulation of Rab7a activity, localization, and function in the endosomal-lysosomal system.

Abstract
RNA-binding proteins (RBP) are critical regulators of gene expression. Recent studies have uncovered hundreds of mRNA-binding proteins that do not contain annotated RNA-binding domains and have well-established roles in other cellular processes. Investigation of these nonconventional RBPs is critical for revealing novel RNA-binding domains and may disclose connections between RNA regulation and other aspects of cell biology. The endosomal sorting complex required for transport II (ESCRT-II) is a nonconventional RNA-binding complex that has a canonical role in multivesicular body formation. ESCRT-II was identified previously as an RNA-binding complex in Drosophila oocytes, but whether its RNA-binding properties extend beyond Drosophila is unknown. In this study, we found that the RNA-binding properties of ESCRT-II are conserved in Xenopus eggs, where ESCRT-II interacted with hundreds of mRNAs. Using a UV cross-linking approach, we demonstrated that ESCRT-II binds directly to RNA through its subunit, Vps25. UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP)-Seq revealed that Vps25 specifically recognizes a polypurine (i.e. GA-rich) motif in RNA. Using purified components, we could reconstitute the selective Vps25-mediated binding of the polypurine motif in vitro Our results provide insight into the mechanism by which ESCRT-II selectively binds to mRNA and also suggest an unexpected link between endosome biology and RNA regulation.

Abstract
Second-generation (Gen 2) Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) show increased nuclease stability and affinity for their RNA targets, which has translated to improved potency and therapeutic index in the clinic. Gen 2 ASOs are typically modified using the phosphorothioate (PS) backbone modification, which enhances ASO interactions with plasma, cell surface, and intracellular proteins. This facilitates ASO distribution to peripheral tissues and also promotes cellular uptake after injection into animals. Previous work identified that Stabilin receptors specifically internalize PS-ASOs in the sinusoidal endothelial cells of the liver and the spleen. By modulating expression of specific proteins involved in the trafficking and maturation of the endolysosomal compartments, we show that Rab5C and EEA1 in the early endosomal pathway, and Rab7A and lysobisphosphatidic acid in the late endosomal pathway, are important for trafficking of PS-ASOs and facilitate their escape from endolysosomal compartments after Stabilin-mediated internalization. In conclusion, this work identifies key rate-limiting proteins in the pathway for PS-ASO translocation and escape from the endosome.

Abstract
Rab5 and Rab7 GTPases are key regulators of endosome maturation and lysosome fusion. They activate the class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) Vps34 to generate pools of phosphatidylinositol-3 phosphate [PI(3)P] on endosomes. Together PI(3)P and the GTP-bound Rabs coordinate the recruitment of endosomal regulators to drive early to late endosome maturation and ultimately lysosome fusion. Counterintuitively, loss of Vps34 results in enlarged endosomes, like those seen from expressing activated Rab GTPases. Two recent papers in the Journal of Cell Science, Jaber et al., 2016 and Law, Seo et al., 2017, demonstrate that a function of Vps34 is to inactive the Rab5 and Rab7 GTPases via recruitment of the TBC1D2 family of Rab GTPase Activating Proteins (GAPs).

Abstract
Endocytosis, and the subsequent trafficking of endosomes, requires dynamic physical alterations in membrane shape that are mediated in part by endophilin proteins. The endophilin B family of proteins contains an N-terminal Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (N-BAR) domain that induces membrane curvature to regulate intracellular membrane dynamics. Whereas endophilin B1 (SH3GLB1/Bif-1) is known to be involved in a number of cellular processes, including apoptosis, autophagy, and endocytosis, the cellular function of endophilin B2 (SH3GLB2) is not well understood. In this study, we used genetic approaches that revealed that endophilin B2 is not required for embryonic development in vivo but that endophilin B2 deficiency impairs endosomal trafficking in vitro, as evidenced by suppressed endosome acidification, EGFR degradation, autophagic flux, and influenza A viral RNA nuclear entry and replication. Mechanistically, although the loss of endophilin B2 did not affect endocytic internalization and lysosomal function, endophilin B2 appeared to regulate the trafficking of endocytic vesicles and autophagosomes to late endosomes or lysosomes. Moreover, we also found that despite having an intracellular localization and tissue distribution similar to endophilin B1, endophilin B2 is dispensable for mitochondrial apoptosis. Taken together, our findings suggest that endophilin B2 positively regulates the endocytic pathway in response to growth factor signaling, autophagy induction, and viral entry.

Abstract
The small GTPase Rab9 has long been described as a protein that mediates endosome-to-trans-Golgi Network (TGN) transport, and specifically mannose-6-phospate receptor (MPR) recycling. However, studies have challenged this view by showing that Rab9 also is connected to sorting pathways toward the endolysosomal compartments. We recently characterized the spatio-temporal dynamics of Rab9 and, by using live cell imaging, we showed that it enters the endosomal pathway together with CI-MPR at the transition stage between early, Rab5-positive, and late, Rab7a-positive, endosomes. More so, the Rab9 constitutively active mutant, Rab9Q66L, accumulates on late endosomes and promotes carrier formation at the TGN. Here, we discuss our findings in light of previous reports on Rab9 in the retrograde transport pathway.
