STX17 (syntaxin 17) mediates autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and the translocation of STX17 to autophagosomes is characteristic of this process. STX17 arrives at autophagosomes when they are closed, stays there for approximately 10 min to promote fusion with lysosomes, and leaves when the autolysosomes are mature. However, the mechanism of this transient visit remains largely unknown. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about this phenomenon, including a recently discovered retrieval mechanism, and discuss remaining questions. MAM: mitochondria-associated membrane; SNX: sorting nexin; STX17: syntaxin 17.

Autophagy, a conserved catabolic process implicated in a diverse array of human diseases, requires efficient fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes to function effectively. Recently, SNAP47 has been identified as a key component of the dual-purpose SNARE complex mediating autophagosome-lysosome fusion in both bulk and selective autophagy. However, the spatiotemporal regulatory mechanisms of this SNARE complex remain unknown.

Objective: The hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein is considered an important cause of neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The disruption of neuronal histone acetylation homeostasis mediated by Tip60 HAT is a common early event in neurodegenerative diseases, but the deeper regulatory mechanism on β-amyloid peptide (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity and autophagic function in AD is still unclear.
Methods: AD models were established both in APP/PS1 mice and Aβ-treated SH-SY5Y cells.

The identification of both autophagy-related material degradation and unconventional secretion has paved the way for significant breakthroughs linking autophagy to a plethora of physiological processes and disease conditions. However, the mechanisms that coordinate these two pathways remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a switch from the lysosomal degradation to a secretory autophagy pathway is governed by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B, encoded by PTPN1).

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the significance of autophagosome-lysosome fusion in preventing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), highlighting that a lack of CHIP in liver cells accelerates the disease when subjected to high-fat diets.
- - H-KO mice show increased levels of proteins P62 and LC3, which suggests that the fusion process is disrupted due to CHIP deficiency.
- - The research reveals that CHIP promotes the formation of a complex involving STX17, SNAP29, and VAMP8 through a unique ubiquitination process, crucial for maintaining autophagy and preventing fatty liver development.

Autophagy plays a crucial role in cancer cell survival by facilitating the elimination of detrimental cellular components and the recycling of nutrients. Understanding the molecular regulation of autophagy is critical for developing interventional approaches for cancer therapy. In this study, we report that migfilin, a focal adhesion protein, plays a novel role in promoting autophagy by increasing autophagosome-lysosome fusion.
