Gene Description

LAMP1 encodes lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 1, an abundant heavily glycosylated single-pass membrane protein of lysosomes, late endosomes, and lysosome-related secretory granules. Its most informative current molecular function is direct inhibition of the lysosomal TMEM175 cation/proton channel, supporting lysosomal lumen acidification and hydrolase activity. LAMP1 also participates in lysosome-related immune granule contexts, TAPL/ABCB9 stabilization, Lassa virus receptor activity, and plasma membrane exposure during degranulation, but its core biology is centered on lysosomal and late-endosomal membrane function.

Proposed New Ontology Terms

lysosomal proton channel inhibitor activity

Definition: An ion channel inhibitor activity that decreases the activity of a proton-conducting channel in the lysosomal membrane.

Justification: LAMP1 inhibits TMEM175 proton leak channel activity, but the current available GO term is only broad ion channel inhibitor activity.

Parent term: ion channel inhibitor activity

TOO GENERAL
Summary: True but broad: entailed by autolysosome, azurophil granule membrane and cytolytic granule membrane and others, kept in this review.
Reason: GO's cytoplasm covers everything inside the plasma membrane except the nucleus, organelles and secretory compartments included, so autolysosome, azurophil granule membrane and cytolytic granule membrane and others, kept in this review, entail this term and the claim is true. TOO_GENERAL rather than REMOVE. The objection is a reason not to annotate a narrower term such as cytosol, not to remove this one. Objection recorded at removal: A cytosolic tail faces the cytosol, but the protein itself should be annotated to membranes rather than cytosol/cytoplasm. Summary at removal: cytoplasm is not an appropriate whole-protein location for a single-pass lysosomal membrane glycoprotein.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does the LAMP1-specific clathrin recruitment evidence in ALR warrant a direct lysosome organization or future autophagic lysosome reformation annotation?

Suggested experts: Li Yu, Yongliang Rong

Q: Should GO add a proton-channel-specific child term under ion channel inhibitor activity for LAMP1-TMEM175 regulation?

Suggested experts: Youxing Jiang, GO molecular function editors

Q: How much of the lysosomal pH phenotype is LAMP1-specific versus redundant with LAMP2 in different human cell types?

Suggested experts: Youxing Jiang, Paul Saftig

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Rescue LAMP1/LAMP2-deficient cells with LAMP1 mutants that disrupt TMEM175 binding while measuring lysosomal pH, TMEM175 currents, and hydrolase activity.

Hypothesis: The LAMP1-TMEM175 interaction is required for LAMP1-dependent lysosomal acidification.

Type: genetic rescue/electrophysiology/lysosomal pH imaging

Experiment: Test LAMP1 cytosolic-tail or glycan mutants during starvation-refeeding ALR and quantify clathrin recruitment, autolysosome tubulation, and proto-lysosome budding.

Hypothesis: A LAMP1-dependent membrane cue recruits or stabilizes clathrin machinery during ALR morphology remodeling.

Type: live-cell imaging/rescue mutagenesis

Experiment: Separate perforin trafficking from lytic granule exocytosis in LAMP1-depleted NK cells using perforin localization, granule motility, degranulation, and target-cell killing assays.

Hypothesis: LAMP1 supports NK cytotoxicity primarily through perforin delivery and lytic granule movement rather than a general degranulation mechanism.

Type: NK-cell RNAi/rescue microscopy/cytotoxicity assay
