How do swelling lysosomes not burst? Because they literally suck more lipids into their membranes from the ER via this protein straw. Amazing piece of this particular molecular puzzle from my colleague jay tab!

Lysosomal vacuolation is commonly found in many pathophysiological conditions, but its molecular mechanisms and functions remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–anch...

Structural basis of ClC-3 transporter inhibition by TMEM9 and PtdIns(3,5)P2
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 16 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41594-025-01617-2Schrecker, Son and colleagues identify the accessory subunits transmembrane protein 9 (TMEM9) and TMEM9B for chloride transporters ClC-3, ClC-4 and ClC-5 and establish the roles of TMEM9 and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate in the regulation of ClC-3 activity and endosomal ion homeostasis.

This is the author of an eye-opening paper - tracking back through evolution to figure out the still very enigmatic function of a lipid kinase. It’s changed my view on these enzymes, and leaves me with many questions. That's what all the best papers do!
