Abstract

A hallmark of autophagy is the de novo formation of double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes, which sequester various cellular constituents for degradation in lysosomes or vacuoles. The membrane dynamics underlying the biogenesis of autophagosomes, including the origin of the autophagosomal membrane, are still elusive. Although previous studies suggested that COPII vesicles are closely associated with autophagosome biogenesis, it remains unclear whether these vesicles serve as a source of the autophagosomal membrane. Using a recently developed COPII vesicle-labeling system in fluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we show that the transmembrane cargo Axl2 is loaded into COPII vesicles in the ER. Axl2 is then transferred to autophagosome intermediates, ultimately becoming part of autophagosomal membranes. This study provides a definitive answer to a long-standing, fundamental question regarding the mechanisms of autophagosome formation by implicating COPII vesicles as a membrane source for autophagosomes.

Autophagosome

An autophagosome is the formation of double-membrane vesicles that involve numerous proteins and cytoplasmic components. These double-membrane vesicles are then terminated at the lysosome where they are degraded. Discover the latest research on autophagosomes here.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Autophagy Networks

Autophagy is a lysosomal pathway that involves degradation of proteins and functions in normal growth and pathological conditions, through a series of complex networks. The catabolic process involves delivery of proteins and organelles to the lysosome. Here is the latest research on autophagy networks.
