Atg2 and Atg9: Intermembrane and interleaflet lipid transporters driving autophagy
Abstract
Autophagy, an intracellular degradation mechanism, involves de novo generation of autophagosomes that sequester and deliver cytoplasmic components to the lysosome for degradation. The mechanism behind autophagosomal membrane expansion has been a longstanding enigma in this field. Recent structural and biochemical analyses have revealed that two mysterious autophagy-related (Atg) proteins, Atg2 and Atg9, are novel types of intermembrane and interleaflet lipid transporters, respectively. This review summarizes recent discoveries surrounding Atg2 and Atg9 as a lipid transporter and discusses the molecular mechanism of autophagosomal membrane expansion driven by collaboration between these two lipid transporters.
Keywords: Atg2; Atg9; Autophagosome; Autophagy; Lipid transporter; Scramblase.
