Abstract excerpt
We recently described in C. elegans embryos, the acquisition of specialized functions for orthologs of yeast Atg8 (e.g., mammalian MAP1LC3/LC3) in allophagy, a selective and developmentally regulated autophagic process. During the formation of double-membrane autophagosomes, the ubiquitin-like Atg8/LC3 proteins are recruited to the membrane through a lipidation process. While at least 6 orthologs and paralogs are...
