Acetylation of SCFD1 regulates SNARE complex formation and autophagosome-lysosome fusion.

ABSTRACT: SCFD1 (sec1 family domain containing 1) was recently shown to function in autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and multiple studies have demonstrated the regulatory impacts of acetylation (a post-translational modification) on macroautophagy/autophagy. Here, we demonstrate that both acetylation- and phosphorylation-dependent mechanisms control SCFD1's function in autophagosome-lysosome fusion. After detecting a decrease in the extent of SCFD1 acetylation under autophagy-stimulated conditions, we found that KAT2B/PCAF catalyzes the acetylation of residues K126 and K515 of SCFD1; we also showed that these two residues are deacetylated by SIRT4. Importantly, we showed that AMPK-controlled SCFD1 phosphorylation strongly disrupts the capacity of SCFD1 to interact with KAT2B, thus ensuring that the SC
