Injury to the lysosome engages a series of quality control mechanisms that mitigate cellular stress. One such mechanism is the degradation of these organelles by lysophagy, the selective autophagy of damaged lysosomes. In recent work, we have shown a requirement for the selective autophagy receptor SQSTM1/p62 in lysophagy. SQSTM1 is robustly recruited to damaged lysosomes in both HeLa cells and neurons, promoting lysophagy through the formation of liquid-phase separated condensates. The formation of SQSTM1 condensates occurs via PB1 domain oligomerization; importantly, we demonstrate that the small heat shock protein HSP27 is required to maintain the liquidity of SQSTM1 condensates. HSP27 is dynamically regulated following lysosomal damage, with phosphorylation at multiple residues required to respond to lysosomal permeabilization. As mutations in SQSTM1 associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cause deficits in lysophagy, our work suggests a causal link between the pathogenesis of ALS and deficits in lysophagy. In sum, we observe that SQSTM1 facilitates lysophagy via the formation of HSP27-regulated phase condensates, which we propose serve as a platform for autophagosome biogenesis at damaged lysosomes. SQSTM1/p62: Sequestosome-1; HSP27: Heat shock protein 27; LLPS: liquid-liquid phase separation; iPSC: induced pluripotent stem cell; PB1: Phox and Bem1p; FRAP: fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching; ATG: autophagy-related; ALS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
