Torsin ATPases are the only members of the AAA+ ATPase family that localize to
the endoplasmic reticulum and contiguous perinuclear space. Accordingly, they are
well positioned to perform essential work in these compartments, but their
precise functions remain elusive. Recent studies have deciphered an unusual
ATPase activation mechanism relying on Torsin-associated transmembrane cofactors,
LAP1 or LULL1. These findings profoundly change our molecular view of the Torsin
machinery and rationalize several human mutations in TorsinA or LAP1 leading to
congenital disorders, symptoms of which have recently been recapitulated in mouse
models. Here, we review these recent advances in the Torsin field and discuss the
most pressing questions in relation to nuclear envelope dynamics.
