**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The mitochondrial-lysosomal contact site (MLCS) represents a critical nexus for cellular quality control, particularly in post-mitotic neurons vulnerable to neurodegeneration. RAB7A, a small GTPase of the Ras superfamily, serves as the master regulator of late endosome and lysosome trafficking, while PRKN (Parkin) functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase crucial for mitochondrial quality control. The molecular architecture of MLCS formation involves a sophistica...
