Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations of Atg16l1, Slit2 and Rab19 predispose to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the relationship between these mutations is unclear. Here we show that in Drosophila guts lacking the WD40 domain of Atg16, pre-enteroendocrine (pre-EE) cells accumulate that fail to differentiate into properly functioning secretory EE cells. Mechanistically, loss of Atg16 or its binding partner...
