    Abstract Getting to know Erwin Knecht is not so simple. This view was summarized in a comment from Dr. Marta Martinez Vicente, who obtained her PhD degree working in a lab that shared space with Erwin's group: "Erwin Knecht is a complex character, who awakens contradictory feelings. To define him I would say that he is a mixture of intelligence and madness, he's witty, very funny but also grumpy and cranky, all mixed and all simultaneously. Without a doubt he is a person who will not leave anyone indifferent, his original personality marked all who crossed his path, doctoral students, collaborators, people who attended his talks, etc … I remember the weekly lab meetings with him; we, the students, had a lot of respect for him (not to mention fear), but his comments were always smart, helpful and constructive, he has always been prone to helping everyone. In the lab, he was extremely demanding, but got people under his supervision to do their best. And despite his usual moodiness, he managed to make everyone love him and have a special affection for him. Above all, I remember his screams throughout the laboratory that could be heard from all over the building, calling out to his laboratory technician: 'Asunción!' They were like an old couple, arguing all day but they couldn't be without each other, it was like watching a sitcom every day." If you are intrigued, please read on.

    Abstract Lafora disease (LD, OMIM254780) is a rare and fatal form of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). Among PMEs, LD is unique because of the rapid neurological deterioration of the patients and the appearance in brain and peripheral tissues of insoluble glycogen-like (polyglucosan) inclusions, named Lafora bodies (LBs). LD is caused by mutations in the EPM2A gene, encoding the dual phosphatase laforin, or the EPM2B gene, encoding the E3-ubiquitin ligase malin. Laforin and malin form a functional complex that is involved in the regulation of glycogen synthesis. Thus, in the absence of a functional complex glycogen accumulates in LBs. In addition, it has been suggested that the laforin-malin complex participates in alternative physiological pathways, such as intracellular protein degradation, oxidative stress, and the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. In this work we review the possible cellular functions of laforin and malin with a special focus on their role in the ubiquitination of specific substrates. We also discuss here the pathological consequences of defects in laforin or malin functions, as well as the therapeutic strategies that are being explored for LD.

    Abstract Autophagy and endocytosis are two evolutionarily conserved catabolic processes that comprise vesicle trafficking events for the clearance of the sequestered intracellular and extracellular cargo. Both start differently but end in the same compartment, the lysosome. Mounting evidences from the last years have established the involvement of proteins sensitive to intracellular Ca(2+) in the control of the early autophagic steps and in the traffic of autophagic, endocytic and lysosomal vesicles. However, this knowledge is based on dispersed outcomes that do not set up a consensus model of the Ca(2+)-dependent control of autophagy and endocytosis. Here, we will provide a critical synopsis of insights from the last decade on the involvement of Ca(2+)-sensor proteins in the activation of autophagy and in fusion events of endocytic vesicles, autophagosomes and lysosomes.

    Abstract Lafora progressive myoclonus epilepsy is a fatal rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of insoluble abnormal glycogen deposits in the brain and peripheral tissues. Mutations in at least two genes are responsible for the disease: EPM2A, encoding the glucan phosphatase laforin, and EPM2B, encoding the RING-type E3-ubiquitin ligase malin. Both laforin and malin form a functional complex in which laforin recruits the substrates to be ubiquitinated by malin. We and others have described that, in cellular and animal models of this disease, there is an autophagy impairment which leads to the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria. In addition, we established that the autophagic defect occurred at the initial steps of autophagosome formation. In this work, we present evidence that in cellular models of the disease there is a decrease in the amount of phosphatidylinositol-3P. This is probably due to defective regulation of the autophagic PI3KC3 complex, in the absence of a functional laforin/malin complex. In fact, we demonstrate that the laforin/malin complex interacts physically and co-localizes intracellularly with core components of the PI3KC3 complex (Beclin1, Vps34 and Vps15), and that this interaction is specific and results in the polyubiquitination of these proteins. In addition, the laforin/malin complex is also able to polyubiquitinate ATG14L and UVRAG. Finally, we show that overexpression of the laforin/malin complex increases PI3KC3 activity. All these results suggest a new role of the laforin/malin complex in the activation of autophagy via regulation of the PI3KC3 complex and explain the defect in autophagy described in Lafora disease.
