Noncanonical roles of ATG5 and membrane atg8ylation in retromer assembly and function by Masroor Ahmad Paddar, Fulong Wang, Einar S Trosdal, Emily Hendrix, Yi He, Michelle R Salemi, Michal Mudd, Jingyue Jia, Thabata Duque, Ruheena Javed, Brett S Phinney, Vojo Deretic

“…Knockouts of other genes essential for membrane atg8ylation, of which ATG5 is a component, affected GLUT1 sorting, indicating that membrane atg8ylation as a process affects retromer function and endosomal sorting. The contribution of membrane atg8ylation to retromer function in GLUT1 sorting was independent of canonical autophagy. …”
