Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a cellular catabolic process that maintains intracellular homeostasis using lysosomal degradation systems. We demonstrate that inhibiting autophagy by depleting essential autophagy elongation proteins, Atg5 or Atg7, induces ISG15 expression through STING-mediated cytosolic dsDNA response. Genome stability is impaired in ATG5- or ATG7-depleted cells, and thus, double-strand breakages of DNA increase...
