Here, we use functional proteomics, single-particle cryo-EM, electrophysiology, and in vivo imaging to unravel a key biological function of human lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP-1 and LAMP-2) in regulating lysosomal pH homeostasis. Despite being widely used as a lysosomal marker, the physiological functions of the LAMP proteins have long been overlooked. We show that LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 directly interact with and inhibit the activity of the lysosomal cation channel TMEM175, a key player in lysosomal pH homeostasis implicated in Parkinson's disease. This LAMP inhibition mitigates the proton conduction of TMEM175 and facilitates lysosomal acidification to a lower pH environment crucial for optimal hydrolase activity. Disrupting the LAMP-TMEM175 interaction alkalinizes the lysosomal pH and compromises the lysosomal hydrolytic function. In light of the ever-increasing importance of lysosomes to cellular physiology and diseases, our data have widespread implications for lysosomal biology.
