ABSTRACT While autophagy is key to maintain cellular homeostasis, tissue-specific roles of individual genes are less understood. To study neuronal in vivo , we inhibited specifically C. elegans neurons, and unexpectedly found that knockdown early-acting genes, i.e., involved formation the autophagosome, except for atg-16.2 decreased PolyQ aggregates increased lifespan, albeit independently degradation autophagosomal cargo. Neuronal can be secreted from neurons via vesicles called exophers,...
