Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-interorganelle membrane contact sites have emerged as key regulators of organelle dynamics. Here, the authors report that the ER-resident protein SNX19 mediates ER-endolysosome membrane contacts to maintain the perinuclear distribution of endolysosomes and restrict their motility.
