      Autophagy is a core molecular pathway for the preservation of cellular and organismal homeostasis. Pharmacological and genetic interventions impairing autophagy responses promote or aggravate disease in a plethora of experimental models. Consistently, mutations in autophagy-related processes cause severe human pathologies. Here, we review and discuss preclinical data linking autophagy dysfunction ...
    • Mammalian Atg8 proteins regulate lysosome and autolysosome biogenesis through SNAREs

      Mammalian homologs of yeast Atg8 protein (mAtg8s) are important in autophagy, but their exact mode of action remains ill‐defined. Syntaxin 17 (Stx17), a SNARE with major roles in autophagy, was recently shown to bind mAtg8s. Here, we identified LC3‐interacting regions (LIRs) in several SNAREs that broaden the landscape of the mAtg8‐SNARE interactions. We found that Syntaxin 16 (Stx16) and its cognate ...
