An EndophilinA phosphoswitch is critical for macroautophagy at presynaptic terminals. Neuron 92 (2016), 829–844 The authors find that phosphorylated Endophilin-A promotes the formation of highly curved membranes that serve as docking station for autophagic factors, including Atg3, to form autophagosomes at presynaptic terminals. Parkingson's disease kinase LRRK2 phosphorylates the Endophilin-A BAR domain and switches the function from the classical role of EndoA in synaptic endocytosis to a role in macroautophagy.

A voltage-gated calcium channel regulates lysosomal fusion with endosomes and autophagosomes and is required for neuronal homeostasis. PLoS Biol, 13, 2015, e1002103 The authors show that Drosophila cac mutants, that are affected in the voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC), accumulate autophagic vacuoles (AV) at photoreceptor terminals. They show that VGCC is not only required for synaptic vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane but also plays a role in autophagy by regulating the fusion of AVs with lysosomes through its calcium channel activity.

Hsc70-4 deforms membranes to promote synaptic protein turnover by endosomal microautophagy. Neuron 88 (2015), 735–748 This paper identifies a novel role of Hsc70-4 in deforming the endosomal membrane and thereby promotes microautophagy. Gain of microautophagy increases the turnover of several synaptic proteins and stimulates neurotransmission. Sgt, a cochaperone of Hsc70-4, is able to switch the activity of Hsc70-4 from synaptic endosomal microautophagy towards protein refolding.

Autophagy 10 (2014), 694–696 The authors show the existence of a complex between the autophagy marker LC3 and the endocytic factors AP2 and PICALM. AP2/PICALM reroute APP C-terminal fragments (APP-CTF) from the endocytic pathway to macroautophagy. This functional link between endocytosis and macroautophagy might be involved in Aβ clearance.

Dev Cell 38 (2016), 171–185 The authors found that kinesin KIF1A/UNC104 is required for transport of the integral membrane autophagy protein, Atg9, to the site of autophagosome biogenesis at the presynapse, thus indicating an important role of autophagy at presynaptic terminals.

EMBO Rep 15 (2014), 392–401, 10.1002/embr.201337995 The authors found that the RabGAP protein TBC1D5 binds to Atg9 and recruits clathrin and AP2 to the autophagosome formation site. They propose that TBC1D5 and AP2 are novel macroautophagy regulators that reroute Atg9 from vesicular carriers towards preautophagosomes.
