Abstract

Migrasomes, organelles crucial for cell communication, undergo distinct stages of nucleation, maturation, and expansion. The regulatory mechanisms of migrasome formation, particularly through biological cues, remain largely unexplored. This study reveals that calcium is essential for migrasome formation. Furthermore, we identify that Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1), a well-known calcium sensor, is not only enriched in migrasomes but also indispensable for their formation. The calcium-binding ability of Syt1 is key to initiating migrasome formation. The recruitment of Syt1 to migrasome formation sites (MFS) triggers the swelling of MFS into unstable precursors, which are subsequently stabilized through the sequential recruitment of tetraspanins. Our findings reveal how calcium regulates migrasome formation and propose a sequential interaction model involving Syt1 and Tetraspanins in the formation and stabilization of migrasomes.
