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

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
