In this issue of Developmental Cell, Jiang et al. report that the Arabidopsis HOPS tethering complex subunit VPS41 acts to catalyze the formation of a degradation pathway composed of a hybrid of autophagosomes and late endosomes.

Increasing soil salinity causes significant crop losses globally; therefore, understanding plant responses to salt (sodium) stress is of high importance. Plants avoid sodium toxicity through subcellular compartmentation by intricate processes involving a high level of elemental interdependence. Current technologies to visualize sodium, in particular, together with other elements, are either indirect or lack in resolution.

Interleukin (IL)-7 promotes T cell expansion during lymphopenia. We studied the metabolic basis in CD4 T cells, observing increased glucose usage for nucleotide synthesis and oxidation in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Unlike other TCA metabolites, glucose-derived citrate does not accumulate upon IL-7 exposure, indicating diversion into other processes.

Cholesterol is an essential lipid that ensures the functional integrity of mammalian cells. Most cells acquire cholesterol via endocytosis of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Upon reaching late endosomes/lysosomes (LE/Lys), incoming ligands, including LDL-derived cholesterol, are distributed to other organelles.

Von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays a critical role in hemostasis, and emerging evidence suggests its involvement in inflammation. Our study aimed to investigate the interaction between circulating plasma VWF and neutrophils (polymorphonuclear cells, PMNs), elucidate the fate of VWF after binding, and explore its impact on neutrophil behavior. Neutrophils were isolated from the whole blood of healthy volunteers, and their interaction with plasma VWF was examined ex vivo.

Phosphoinositide kinase, FYVE-type zinc finger containing (PIKFYVE) was recently identified as a causative gene for cataract. Pikfyve phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase domain-deficient (pikfyve) zebrafish lens and PIKFYVE-inhibited human lens epithelial cells developed vacuoles, colocalized with late endosome marker RAB7. In this study, the pikfyvezebrafish with vacuole-like cataract underwent transcriptomic and proteomic analyses to explore the underlying mechanisms of vacuole formation.
