Abstract
During autophagy, proteins of the ATG8 family are conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in double-membrane structures called phagophores. Now, Durgan et al. have found that, during the non-canonical process of conjugating ATG8 proteins to single-membrane structures, ATG8 can be ligated to phosphatidylserine. Here, I discuss the potential consequences of their findings.
