GPN does not release lysosomal Ca(2+) but evokes Ca(2+) release from the ER by increasing the cytosolic pH independently of cathepsin C

The dipeptide glycyl-l-phenylalanine 2-naphthylamide (GPN) is widely used to perturb lysosomes because its cleavage by the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin C is proposed to rupture lysosomal membranes. We show that GPN evokes a sustained increase in lysosomal pH (pH(ly)), and transient increases in cytoso...
