Abstract excerpt
We recently showed that the dynein motor machinery plays a role in the delivery of autophagosome contents to lysosomes, in the process of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. This may explain a number of important previous observations, including why intracellular aggregates form in mice with dynein mutations that have motor neuron-like disease. These studies highlight the importance of dyneins and autophagy in the...
