Mutations in presenilins (PS), transmembrane proteins encoding the catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, result in familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). Several studies have identified lysosomal defects in cells lacking PS or expressing FAD-associated PS mutations, which have been previously attributed to a function for PS in lysosomal acidification. Now, in this issue, Coen et al. (2012. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201201076) provide a series of results that challenge this idea and propose instead that presenilins play a role in calcium-mediated lysosomal fusion.

Given the role of E-cadherin (E-cad) in holding epithelial cells together, the inverse relationship between E-cad levels and cell invasion has been perceived as a principle underlying the invasiveness of tumor cells. In contrast, our study employing the Drosophila model of cell dissemination demonstrates that E-cad is necessary for the invasiveness of RasV12-transformed cells in vivo. Drosophila E-cad/β-catenin disassembles at adherens junctions and assembles at invasive protrusions—the actin- and cortactin-rich invadopodia-like protrusions associated with breach of the extracellular matrix (ECM)—during cell dissemination. Loss of E-cad attenuates dissemination of RasV12-transformed cells by impairing their ability to compromise the ECM. Strikingly, the remodeling of E-cad/β-catenin subcellular distribution is controlled by two discrete intracellular calcium signaling pathways: Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum via the inositol triphosphate receptor (IP3R) disassembles E-cad at adherens junctions while Ca2+ entry via the mechanosensitive channel Piezo assembles E-cad at invasive protrusions. Thus, our study provides molecular insights into the unconventional role of E-cad in cell invasion during cell dissemination in vivo and describes the discrete roles of intracellular calcium signaling in the remodeling of E-cad/β-catenin subcellular localization.
