MYO18B promotes lysosomal exocytosis by facilitating focal adhesion maturation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many cancer cells exhibit increased amounts of paucimannose glycans, which are truncated N-glycan structures rarely found in mammals. Paucimannosidic proteins are proposedly generated within lysosomes and exposed on the cell surface through a yet uncertain mechanism. In this study, we revealed that paucimannosidic proteins are produced by lysosomal glycosidases and secreted via lysosomal exocytosis. Interestingly, lysosomal exocytosis preferentially occurred in the vicinity of focal adhesions, protein complexes connecting the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Through genome-wide knockout screening, we identified that MYO18B, an actin crosslinker, is required for focal adhesion maturation, facilitating lysosomal exocytosis and the release of paucimannosidic lysosomal proteins to the extracellular milieu. Moreover, a mechanosensitive cation channel PIEZO1 locally activated at focal adhesions imports Ca2+ necessary for lysosome-plasma membrane fusion. Collectively, our study unveiled an intimate relationship between lysosomal exocytosis and focal adhesion, shedding light on the unexpected interplay between lysosomal activities and cellular mechanosensing.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
