The endosomal-lysosomal system is a series of organelles in the endocytic pathway that executes trafficking and degradation of proteins and lipids and mediates the internalization of nutrients and growth factors to ensure cell survival, growth, and differentiation. Here, we reveal regulatory, non-proteolytic ubiquitin signals in this complex system that are controlled by the enigmatic deubiquitinase USP32. Knockout (KO) of USP32 in primary hTERT-RPE1 cells results among others in hyperubiquitination of the Ragulator complex subunit LAMTOR1. Accumulation of LAMTOR1 ubiquitination impairs its interaction with the vacuolar H-ATPase, reduces Ragulator function, and ultimately limits mTORC1 recruitment. Consistently, in USP32 KO cells, less mTOR kinase localizes to lysosomes, mTORC1 activity is decreased, and autophagy is induced. Furthermore, we demonstrate that depletion of USP32 homolog CYK-3 in Caenorhabditis elegans results in mTOR inhibition and autophagy induction. In summary, we identify a control mechanism of the mTORC1 activation cascade at lysosomes via USP32-regulated LAMTOR1 ubiquitination.

Great progress has been made in utilizing immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therapies targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1, expressed on tumor cells, have demonstrated potential in improving patient survival rates. An unresolved issue involves immune suppression induced by exosomal PD-L1 within the tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly regarding CD8 T cells.

Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a conserved serine/threonine kinase that integrates various environmental signals to regulate cell growth and metabolism. mTORC1 activation requires tethering to lysosomes by the Ragulator-Rag complex. However, the dynamic regulation of the interaction between Ragulator and Rag guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) remains unclear.

Among the various signals governing autophagy, ubiquitination plays a critical role both by controlling the stability of upstream regulators or components of macroautophagy/autophagy pathways and by facilitating the recruitment of cargo to autophagy receptors. As such, modulators of ubiquitin signaling can influence autophagic substrate degradation. Recently, we identified a non-proteolytic ubiquitin signal at the Ragulator complex subunit LAMTOR1 that is reversed by the deubiquitinase USP32.
