Abstract excerpt
The transmembrane autophagy protein ATG9 has multiple functions essential for autophagosome formation. Here, we uncovered a novel function of ATG-9 in regulating lysosome biogenesis and integrity in Caenorhabditis elegans. Through a genetic screen, we identified that mutations attenuating the lipid scrambling activity of ATG-9 suppress the autophagy defect in epg-5 mutants, in which non-degradative autolysosomes...
