Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

ATG14 is an autophagy-specific subunit of the class III PI3-kinase complex I (VPS34–VPS15–Beclin 1–ATG14) that functions at multiple stages of the autophagic pathway—from phagophore nucleation to autophagosome–lysosome fusion—and additionally acts as a lipophagy receptor on lipid droplets. ATG14 binds Beclin 1 in a mutually exclusive manner with UVRAG to define Complex I, recruits it to the ER via its N-terminal domain, and targets curved PI3P-enriched membranes through its C-terminal BATS domain, thereby stimulating VPS34 lipid kinase activity and omegasome/phagophore formation (PMID:18843052, PMID:20713597, PMID:21518905). ULK1 phosphorylates ATG14 at Ser29 downstream of mTORC1 inhibition to activate PI3K complex kinase activity, while ATG14 protein levels are controlled by ZBTB16–Cullin3–Roc1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation opposed by USP1 deubiquitination, and by MARCH7-mediated mixed-linkage polyubiquitination that reduces ATG14 solubility and its interaction with STX17 (PMID:27938392, PMID:25821988, PMID:39814232, PMID:37632749). At the fusion step, ATG14 homo-oligomerizes via cysteine repeats and directly binds the STX17–SNAP29 binary t-SNARE complex to promote VAMP8 engagement and autophagosome–lysosome fusion; the BATS domain also targets ATG14 to lipid droplets where it serves as a lipophagy receptor interacting with ATG8 proteins and enhances ATGL/CGI-58-mediated lipolysis (PMID:25686604, PMID:38245527, PMID:37741434).

2008 ATG14 (mammalian Atg14) is a component of a distinct Beclin 1-Vps34-p150 PI3-kinase complex that is separate from the UVRAG-containing complex; ATG14 and UVRAG bind Beclin 1 in a mutually exclusive manner. The coiled-coil region of ATG14 required for binding Vps34 and Beclin 1 is essential for autophagy. ATG14 localizes to isolation membranes/phagophores during starvation, and its silencing suppresses autophagosome formation.

2009 ATG14L (Atg14L) and Rubicon are two Beclin 1-binding proteins that form distinct complexes with Beclin 1-hVps34; ATG14L and UVRAG bind Beclin 1 mutually exclusively while Rubicon binds only UVRAG complexes. GFP-ATG14L localizes to the isolation membrane, autophagosome, and ER. Knockout of ATG14L in mouse ES cells causes a defect in autophagosome formation. Co-immunoprecipitation, GFP-fusion live imaging, gene knockout in mouse ES cells Nature cell biology High 19270696

2014 Dapper1 (Dpr1) directly interacts with both Beclin 1 and ATG14L and enhances Beclin1-Vps34 interaction and Vps34 kinase activity to promote autophagosome formation.

2015 ATG14 promotes membrane tethering of protein-free liposomes and enhances hemifusion and full fusion of proteoliposomes reconstituted with t-SNAREs STX17/SNAP29 and v-SNARE VAMP8. ATG14 binds to the SNARE core domain of STX17 through its coiled-coil domain and stabilizes the STX17-SNAP29 binary t-SNARE complex on autophagosomes. ATG14 homo-oligomerization via cysteine repeats is required for membrane tethering, fusion enhancement, and autophagosome-endolysosome fusion in cells; cells expressing homo-oligomerization-defective ATG14 form autophagosomes normally but are blocked in fusion with endolysosomes.

2016 ULK1 phosphorylates ATG14 at serine 29 in an mTOR-dependent manner via interaction mediated by ATG13 (which bridges ULK1 to the ATG14-containing PI3K complex).

2022 Miga (Drosophila ortholog), a mitochondrial outer-membrane protein regulating ER-mitochondria contact sites, binds ATG14 and Uvrag. Miga-mediated stabilization of Syx17 (STX17 ortholog) is dependent on Atg14. Miga-regulated ERMCSs are critical for PI3P formation but not for Syx17 stabilization. Co-immunoprecipitation, genetic epistasis in Drosophila, PI3P measurement, Syx17 protein stability assay Cell reports Medium 36323251
2023 MARCH7 (MARCHF7), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, ubiquitinates ATG14 with K6-, K11-, and K63-linked mixed polyubiquitin chains, triggering ATG14 aggregation and reducing its solubility. Ubiquitinated ATG14 has fewer interactions with STX17, inhibiting autophagy flux. MARCH7 depletion decreases aggresome-like induced structures (ALISs). Co-immunoprecipitation, ubiquitination assay with linkage-specific analysis, solubility fractionation, STX17 co-IP with ubiquitination mutants, MARCH7 KO cells Cell reports High 37632749
2023 RUNDC1 is a novel ATG14-interacting protein that negatively modulates autophagy by blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion. RUNDC1 stimulates ATG14 homo-oligomerization to prevent VAMP8 from binding STX17-SNAP29, clasping the ATG14-STX17-SNAP29 complex. Phosphorylation of RUNDC1 Ser379 is crucial for this inhibitory function. Co-immunoprecipitation, gain/loss-of-function in human cells and zebrafish, SNARE complex assembly assay, phospho-site mutagenesis Cell death and differentiation High 37684417
2023 Streptococcus pneumoniae CbpC interacts with the coiled-coil domain of ATG14 (Y83 of CbpC dp3 domain is critical), activating autophagy; simultaneously CbpC deploys ATG14 for autophagic degradation via ATG14-CbpC-p62/SQSTM1 axis, reducing ATG14-STX17 complex formation and suppressing antibacterial autophagy. Co-immunoprecipitation, domain mutagenesis, bacterial survival assay, ATG14-STX17 complex analysis EMBO reports Medium 32239622
2024 ATG14 targets lipid droplets (LDs) via its BATS domain and acts as an autophagic receptor for LD degradation (lipophagy) by interacting with ATG8 family proteins. STX18 (syntaxin 18) binds ATG14, disrupting ATG14-ATG8 interactions and PI3KC3-C1 complex formation. Coronavirus M protein binds STX18 to subvert the STX18-ATG14 interaction, inducing lipophagy and degrading the antiviral protein Viperin to facilitate virus production. Co-immunoprecipitation, domain mutagenesis (BATS domain), siRNA knockdown, fluorescence imaging of LDs, in vitro binding assays, viral replication assay Nature communications High 38245527
2024 ATG14's BATS domain is responsible for ATG14 localization to lipid droplets. ATG14 interacts with ATGL (adipose triglyceride lipase) and CGI-58 and enhances the ATGL-CGI-58 interaction. ATG14 deficiency decreases triglyceride hydrolysis in vitro, indicating ATG14 directly promotes lipolysis at lipid droplets. Fluorescence imaging, BATS domain mutagenesis, co-immunoprecipitation of ATGL and CGI-58, in vitro lipolysis assay, ATG14 knockdown in hepatocytes and mouse livers Metabolism: clinical and experimental High 37741434
2022 PI4K2A generates a pool of PI4P that facilitates recruitment of ATG14 to mature autophagosomes. PI4K2A binds to ATG14. Impaired ATG14 targeting to autophagosomes in PI4K2A-depleted cells is rescued by introduction of PI4P but not PI(4,5)P2, indicating PI4P and PI(4,5)P2 have independent functions in late-stage autophagy. PI4K2A depletion, PI4P/PI(4,5)P2 rescue experiments, co-immunoprecipitation, ATG14 localization imaging Biochemistry Medium 35380781
2024 GULP1 interacts with ATG14 and potentiates the stimulatory effect of ATG14 on PI3KC3-C1 activity. GULP1 facilitates targeting of ATG14 to the ER. GULP1 promotes APP entry into autophagic vacuoles and enhances APP processing; a GULP1 mutant disrupting the GULP1-ATG14 interaction attenuates these effects.

2025 USP1 deubiquitinates ATG14, stabilizing it by reducing bound ubiquitin levels and preventing proteasome-dependent degradation. USP1 depletion or inhibition reduces autophagy initiation and flux. USP1 is the first identified deubiquitinase for ATG14.

2025 Conditional depletion of ATG14 in the mouse oviduct causes severe structural abnormalities, abnormal embryo retention, and impaired embryo transport. Mechanistically, loss of ATG14 triggers unscheduled pyroptosis via mitochondrial integrity disruption. Pharmacological pyroptosis activation phenocopies the ATG14-KO embryo transport defect.
