Insights on autophagosome–lysosome tethering from structural and biochemical characterization of human autophagy factor EPG5

Nam and Cheung et al. describe the structural and biochemical characterization of human autophagy factor EPG5 that functions in autophagosome–lysosome tethering. They show that hEPG5 adopts an extended shepherd’s staff architecture, binds preferentially to GABARAP proteins, and is recruited to mitoc...
