ATG5 is one of the core autophagy proteins with additional functions such as noncanonical membrane atg8ylation, which among a growing number of biological outputs includes control of tuberculosis in animal models. Here, we show that ATG5 associates with retromer's core components VPS26, VPS29, and VPS35 and modulates retromer function. Knockout of ATG5 blocked trafficking of a key glucose transporter sorted by the retromer, GLUT1, to the plasma membrane. Knockouts of other genes essential for membrane atg8ylation, of which ATG5 is a component, affected GLUT1 sorting, indicating that membrane atg8ylation as a process affects retromer function and endosomal sorting. The contribution of membrane atg8ylation to retromer function in GLUT1 sorting was independent of canonical autophagy. These findings expand the scope of membrane atg8ylation to specific sorting processes in the cell dependent on the retromer and its known interactors.
ATG5是核心自噬蛋白之一,具有非典型膜atg8ylation等额外功能,在越来越多的生物学效应中,包括对动物模型中结核病的控制。在此,我们表明ATG5与逆向转运复合物的核心组分VPS26、VPS29和VPS35相关联,并调节逆向转运复合物的功能。敲除ATG5会阻断由逆向转运复合物分选的关键葡萄糖转运蛋白GLUT1向质膜的转运。作为膜atg8ylation组成成分的其他基因的敲除,影响了GLUT1的分选,表明膜atg8ylation作为一个过程会影响逆向转运复合物的功能和内体分选。膜atg8ylation对GLUT1分选过程中逆向转运复合物功能的贡献独立于经典自噬。这些发现将膜atg8ylation的范围扩展到细胞中依赖于逆向转运复合物及其已知相互作用分子的特定分选过程。
