ATL3 Is a Tubular ER-Phagy Receptor for GABARAP-Mediated Selective Autophagy (Current Biology)

Chen et al. show that ATL3, a dynamin-like GTPase commonly believed to promote tubular ER fusion, also functions as an autophagy receptor to mediate ER tubule degradation and that dysfunctional ER-phagy may be involved in sensory neuropathy.
