The fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes is an obligatory step in the self-eating process of autophagy. In this issue, Kumar et al. (2018. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201708039) identify a protein complex, the autophagosome recognition particle (ARP), that chaperones a key SNARE, syntaxin 17, to the autophagosome membrane. Intriguingly, this protein complex coordinates both delivery and membrane insertion as a prelude to fusion.
自噬体与溶酶体的融合是自噬过程中自我吞噬的必需步骤。在本期中,Kumar 等人(2018. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201708039)确定了一个蛋白质复合物,即自噬体识别颗粒(ARP),该复合物可以将关键的 SNARE 蛋白突触融合蛋白 17 引导至自噬体膜上。有趣的是,该蛋白复合物在融合之前协调了递呈和膜插入。
