  This paper presents useful findings on the dysmyelination phenotype of nervous system-specific Spns1 (a lysosomal lipid transporter) knockout mice. While the analysis of the phenotype is solid, the evidence for the underlying mechanisms, especially the molecular function for SPNS1, is incomplete. With more careful interpretation and/or additional experimental data, this work could have implications for understanding lipid transport and lysosomal storage diseases.

  eLife assessment

  This valuable study presents findings on the role of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2D/eff in maintaining proteostasis during aging. The evidence supporting the conclusions is solid, although one reviewer had concerns about the readout for protein aggregation and the loss-of-function studies. In the future, mechanistic insights explaining the impact of UBE2D/eff deficiency on the accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins and in shortening lifespan would be interesting. The present study is of broad interest to cell biologists working in aging and age-related diseases.
