  • Using high-resolution confocal microscopy in the zebrafish model, we show that mCherry-Dram1 labelled vesicles interact and fuse with early endosomes marked by PI(3)P. Following these fusion events, early endosomes mature into late endosomes in a process dependent on the conversion of PI(3)P into PI(3,5)P2 by the lipid kinase PIKfyve. Chemical inhibition of PIKfyve reduces the targeting of Dram1 to acidic endolysosomal vesicles, arresting Dram1 in multivesicular bodies, early endosomes, or non-acidified vesicles halted in their fusion with early endosomes.
