In order to perform key tasks such as phagocytosis, secretion or migration, cells must coordinate their intracellular trafficking, and cytoskeleton dynamics. This relies on certain classes of proteins endowed with specialized and conserved domains that bridge membranes with effector proteins. Of particular interest are proteins capable of interacting with Edited by: membrane subdomains enriched in specific phosphatidylinositol lipids, tightly regulated Roberto Botelho, Ryerson University, Canada by various kinases and phosphatases.

The vast superfamily of GTPases is involved in the establishment On their way to degradation, sorted cargo accumulate in or regulation of virtually every step of intracellular membrane early endosomes (EE), that further mature into late endosomes trafficking. They behave as molecular switches that can alternate (LE) through multiple events of cargo and lipid sorting. between active and inactive states, through GTP binding and Late endosomes adopt a membrane organization termed hydrolysis into GDP (Takai et al., 2001; Stenmark, 2009). The multivesicular bodies, that are enriched in lysobisphosphatidic largest group of GTPases involved in intracellular membrane acid and contain intraluminal vesicles (Gruenberg, 2020). Next, traffic is the Rab proteins family (Lamb et al., 2016). Rab GTPases LE potentiate their hydrolytic competence by fusing with specifically localize to different intracellular compartments, lysosomes (Pillay et al., 2002) resulting in the degradation regulating vesicle formation and sorting, as well as transport of their contents, providing nutrients and key factors to along the cytoskeletal network. Each Rab protein can be recruited the cell (Doherty and McMahon, 2009; Kaksonen and Roux, to specific membrane subdomains of a defined organelle and 2018). Notably, endosomes play a role in signal transduction is associated to multiple effectors controlling membrane fusion by serving as signaling platforms either for surface activated and trafficking. Rab interaction with the membrane fusion receptors like Toll-like receptors and epidermal growth factor complexes and cytoskeleton regulators is therefore crucial for receptor or metabolic sensors such as mechanistic target cellular functions, including endocytosis and autophagy (Chen of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1; Argüello et al., 2016). and Wandinger-Ness, 2001; Bruce et al., 2010; Geng et al., 2010; Often they promote the degradation of their targets, leading Thomas and Fromme, 2020; Yuan and Song, 2020). to signal termination (Chung et al., 2010). The endocytic Here, we review the literature concerning a less-well known pathway has also specialized functions in differentiated cells family of proteins involved in the complex biochemical crosstalk such as neurotransmitter release and recycling in neurons, or established between the cytoskeleton and intracellular vesicles. antigen processing and presentation in professional antigen This small group of proteins was named RUFY for “RUN and presenting cells, like B cells or dendritic cells (Argüello FYVE domain-containing.” RUFYs share a common structural et al., 2016; Solé-Domènech et al., 2016; Hinze and Boucrot, domain organization, including an N-terminal RUN domain, 2018). Endocytosis events and endosomes positioning is one or several coiled-coil (CC) repeats and a C-terminal FYVE highly dependent on the dynamic and spatial re-organization domain (Figure 1A). The molecular structures of the different of the different cytoskeleton networks that include actin, RUFY proteins has been described (Dunkelberg and Gutierrez- intermediate filaments, or microtubules (Fletcher and Mullins, Hartmann, 2001; Mari et al., 2001; Kukimoto-Niino et al., 2006; 2010; Pegoraro et al., 2017). Kitagishi and Matsuda, 2013), but their function in endocytic Complementary to endocytosis, autophagy is an intracellular regulation and their physiological relevance at the organismal process by which cells degrade and recycle their own cytoplasmic level are still poorly characterized (Kitagishi and Matsuda, 2013; materials (Mizushima and Komatsu, 2011). Autophagy plays a Terawaki et al., 2016). We revisit here how the rufy gene central role in many physiological processes including stress family was annotated, and propose the addition of a novel management, development, immunity and aging (Puleston and member, the fyco1 (FYVE and Coiled-coil containing domain Simon, 2014; Zhong et al., 2016; Fîlfan et al., 2017; Moretti 1) gene given its sequence and functional similarities with et al., 2017; Doherty and Baehrecke, 2018). Autophagy is the other rufy genes (Pankiv et al., 2010; Terawaki et al., partially controlled though mTORC1 activity and is responsible 2015). We also highlight recent findings on the implication of for degradation and recycling of misfolded proteins, as well RUFY proteins in the regulation of cytoskeleton and endosome as obsolete organelles (Galluzzi et al., 2017). The endpoint of dynamics and their contribution to immunity, cancer and autophagy is to deliver cytoplasmic material to lysosomes,
