Structural basis for ATG9A recruitment to the ULK1 complex in mitophagy initiation

Abstract

The assembly of the autophagy initiation machinery nucleates autophagosome biogenesis, including in the PINK1- and Parkin-dependent mitophagy pathway implicated in Parkinson’s disease. The structural interaction between the sole transmembrane autophagy protein, ATG9A, and components of the ULK1 complex is one of the major missing links needed to complete a structural map of autophagy initiation. We determined the 2.4 Å x-ray crystallographic structure of the ternary structure of ATG9A C-terminal tail bound to the ATG13:ATG101 HORMA dimer, which is part of the ULK1 complex. We term the interacting portion of the extreme C-terminal part of the ATG9A tail the “HORMA dimer interacting region” (HDIR). This structure shows that the HDIR binds to the HORMA domain of ATG101 by β-sheet complementation such that the ATG9A tail resides in a deep cleft at the ATG13:ATG101 interface. Disruption of this complex in cells impairs damage induced PINK1/Parkin mitophagy mediated by the cargo receptor NDP52.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
