Abstract

Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is an evolutionarily conserved process in which portions of the cytoplasm are engulfed, degraded, and subsequently recycled. The Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 complex translocates to the phagophore assembly site (PAS), where an autophagosome forms, at a very early stage of autophagy, playing a vital role in autophagy induction. Here, we identified a novel role of this complex in a late stage of autophagy where it coordinates with Atg11 to regulate autophagy-specific fusion with the vacuole. Atg17 and Atg11 interact with the vacuolar SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) Vam7 independently of each other. Several hydrophobic residues in helix 1 and helix 4 of Atg17 and the SNARE domain of Vam7 mediate the Atg17-Vam7 interaction. An F317D mutation of Atg17, which diminishes its interaction with Vam7 without affecting its interaction with Atg13 or Atg31, leads to a defect in the fusion of autophagosomes with the vacuole and decreased autophagy activity. These results provide the first demonstration that the Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 complex functions in both early and late stages of autophagy and also provide a mechanistic explanation for the coordination of autophagosome com...Continue Reading

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.

ATG proteins

The discovery of autophagy-related ('ATG') proteins in the 1990s greatly advanced the mechanistic understanding of autophagy and clarified the fact that autophagy serves important roles in various biological processes.
