Abstract

Lysosome function and position in the cytoplasm depends on the BORCS machinery, which tethers lysosomes to the kinesin microtubule motor. A recent paper of Snouwaert et al. in Cell Reports characterizes a mouse with a spontaneous mutation in the Borcs7 subunit, which causes axonal dystrophy and impaired motor function.
