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 ...[more]
