MCOLN1 is a ROS sensor in lysosomes that regulates autophagy

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage cell components, necessitating their clearance through autophagy. Here, the authors show that ROS can induce autophagy by triggering TRPML1 to release Ca2+from the lysosomal lumen, in turn activating the autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis regulator TFEB.
