We are excited to present our latest work on non-canonical autophagy, recently published in Molecular Cell. Find out more in the link below.

Non-canonical autophagy drives alternative ATG8 conjugation to phosphatidylserine ATG8 conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine is a hallmark feature of autophagy. Durgan et al. discover that ATG8 can undergo alternative conjugation, to phosphatidylserine, during non-canonical autophagy processes, such as phagocytosis, on single-membrane compartments. ATG8-PS and ATG8-PE bear dif...

Like and ? Then check out our exciting new preprint led by . Lots of cool data revealing a novel mechanism of TFEB regulation dependent on GABARAP lipidation during multiple forms of autophagy and non-canonical autophagy.
