الوصف: Zhou et al. identify the mechanism of autophagosome (AP) closure. They show that Rab5 GTPase regulates an interaction between the ESCRT subunit Snf7 and Atg17 to bring ESCRT to APs where it catalyzes AP closure. These findings highlight the convergence of the endocytic and autophagic pathways at this step.
In the conserved autophagy pathway, autophagosomes (APs) engulf cellular components and deliver them to the lysosome for degradation. Before fusing with the lysosome, APs have to close via an unknown mechanism. We have previously shown that the endocytic Rab5-GTPase regulates AP closure. Therefore, we asked whether ESCRT, which catalyzes scission of vesicles into late endosomes, mediates the topologically similar process of AP sealing. Here, we show that depletion of representative subunits from all ESCRT complexes causes late autophagy defects and accumulation of APs. Focusing on two subunits, we show that Snf7 and the Vps4 ATPase localize to APs and their depletion results in accumulation of open APs. Moreover, Snf7 and Vps4 proteins complement their corresponding mutant defects in vivo and in vitro. Finally, a Rab5-controlled Atg17–Snf7 interaction is important for Snf7 localization to APs. Thus, we unravel a mechanism in which a Rab5-dependent Atg17–Snf7 interaction leads to recruitment of ESCRT to open APs where ESCRT catalyzes AP closure.

الوصف: The target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is an essential regulator of eukaryotic cell growth that responds to growth factors, energy levels, and amino acids. The mechanisms through which the preeminent amino acid leucine signals to the TORC1-regulatory Rag GTPases, which activate TORC1 within the yeast EGO complex (EGOC) or the structurally related mammalian Rag-Ragulator complex, remain elusive. We find that the leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) Cdc60 interacts with the Rag GTPase Gtr1 of the EGOC in a leucine-dependent manner. This interaction is necessary and sufficient to mediate leucine signaling to TORC1 and is disrupted by the engagement of Cdc60 in editing mischarged tRNA(Leu). Thus, the EGOC-TORC1 signaling module samples, via the LeuRS-intrinsic editing domain, the fidelity of tRNA(Leu) aminoacylation as a proxy for leucine availability.
