    basic FUNCTION
  • in uninfected cells both ARL5B and PLEKHM2 are required for lysosomes to distribute away from the microtubule-organizing center
  • ARL8B, a recently identified lysosomal GTPase, and its effector PLEKHM2, are important for tubular lysosomes (TLs) biogenesis
  • a PLEKHM2-kinesin-1 mechanism is responsible for the anterograde microtubule-dependent transport of melanosomes and lysosomes
  • lysosome adaptor

    protein
  • ARL5B-GTP binds to the soluble protein PLEKHM2
  • interaction between kinesin-1 and ARL8B is mediated by PLEKHM2 and the tripartite complex drives the anterograde movement of lysosomes
  • ARL8B effector PLEKHM2 interacts with and recruits HOPS subunits to ARL8B and kinesin-positive peripheral lysosomes
  • interact with several Rabs and with kinesin-1, affecting endosomal trafficking
  • ARL8B in its GTP-bound state interacts with PLEKHM2, and ARL8B and its effector PLEKHM2 are crucial for the kinesin-dependent plus-end movement of lysosomes
