Diverse cellular processes are driven by motor proteins that are recruited to and generate force on lipid membranes. Surprisingly little is known about how membranes control the force from motors and how this may impact specific cellular functions. Here, we show that dynein motors physically cluster into microdomains on the membrane of a phagosome as it matures inside cells. Such geometrical reorganization allows many dyneins within a cluster to generate cooperative force on a single microtubule. This results in rapid directed transport of the phagosome toward microtubule minus ends, likely promoting phagolysosome fusion and pathogen degradation. We show that lipophosphoglycan, the major molecule implicated in immune evasion of Leishmania donovani, inhibits phagosome motion by disrupting the clustering and therefore the cooperative force generation of dynein. These findings appear relevant to several pathogens that prevent phagosome-lysosome fusion by targeting lipid microdomains on phagosomes. Dynein clusters into lipid microdomains on the phagosome as it matures Clustering allows many dyneins to simultaneously contact a single microtubule Large cooperative forces can now be generated to transport phagosomes to lysosomes Leishmania lipophosphoglycans disrupt microdomains and inhibit this transport Dynein motors physically cluster into lipid rafts on the membrane of a phagosome as it matures inside the cell. The geometric organization in clusters increases the generation of force and allows many motors to cooperate to drive fast transport of the phagosome, a process required for elimination of many intracellular pathogens.
