摘要

Lysosomes are multifunctional organelles that play important roles in cellular recycling, signaling, and homeostasis, relying on precise trafficking and activation of lysosomal enzymes. While the Golgi apparatus plays a central role in lysosomal enzyme sorting, the mechanisms linking Golgi function to lysosomal activity remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify the Golgi-resident protein GRASP55, but not its paralog GRASP65, as necessary for lysosome function. Loss of GRASP55 expression leads to missorting and secretion of lysosomal enzymes, lysosomal dysfunction and bloating. GRASP55 deficiency also disrupts lysosomal mTORC1 signaling, reducing the phosphorylation of its lysosomal substrates TFEB/TFE3, while sparing its non-lysosomal targets. Mechanistically, GRASP55 binds and maintains the COPI adaptor GOLPH3 protein at the Golgi, thereby controlling the Golgi localization and stability of LYSET and GNPTAB that are required for mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) tagging of lysosomal enzymes. These findings reveal an essential role for GRASP55 in Golgi–lysosome communication and lysosomal enzyme trafficking and underscore the importance of Golgi-mediated protein sorting in lysosome function and lysosomal mTORC1 signaling.
