Autophagosomal components recycling on autolysosomes

Abstract

Autophagy is a multistage, intracellular process. Here, we highlight a recently identified autophagosomal components recycling (ACR) stage and the recycler complex (SNX4-SNX5-SNX17), which mediates recycling of autophagosomal outer membrane proteins on the autolysosome surface immediately following autophagosome-lysosome fusion. This discovery opens numerous research directions into the postfusion fate of autophagosomes.

Keywords: ATG9A; STX17; autophagosomal components recycling; autophagy; lysosome.
