Research Abstract

We provide evidence that mammalian macroautophagy not only involves an ATG5/ATG7-dependent conventional pathway, but also an ATG5/ATG7-independent alternate pathway. In vivo, Atg5-independent alternative macroautophagy was detected in several embryonic tissues(cf. brain, liver, heart). It also had a function in clearing mitochondria during erythroid maturation.
