No ATG8s, no problem? How LC3/GABARAP proteins contribute to autophagy

The ATG8 family LC3/GABARAP proteins are attached to the membrane of nascent autophagosomes, but their functions during autophagy are unclear. In this issue, Nguyen et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201607039) show that LC3/GABARAP proteins are not essential for autophagosome f...
