Atg9 antagonizes TOR signaling to regulate intestinal cell growth and epithelial homeostasis in Drosophila
9 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and survival under various stress conditions. Autophagy-related gene 9 (Atg9) encodes a multipass transmembrane protein thought to act as a membrane carrier for forming autophagosomes. However, the molecular regulation and physiological importance of Atg9 in animal development remain largely unclear. Here, we generated Atg9 null mutant flies and found...
