The V-ATPase/ATG16L1 axis is controlled by the V1H subunit

ABSTRACT: Defects in organellar acidification indicate compromised or infected compartments. Recruitment of the autophagy-related ATG16L1 complex to pathologically de-acidified compartments targets ubiquitin-like ATG8 molecules to perturbed membranes. How this process is coupled to pH gradient disruption is unclear. Here, we reveal a direct role for the V1H subunit of the V-ATPase proton pump in recruiting ATG16L1. The interaction between V1H and ATG16L1 occurs within assembled V-ATPases, but not dissociated V1 complexes. This selectivity allows recruitment to be coupled to changes in V-ATPase assembly that follow pH dissipation. Cells lacking V1H undergo canonical macroautophagy but are unable to recruit ATG16L1 in response to influenza infection, STING activation or ionophore drugs. We identify a loop within V1H that mediates ATG16L1 binding, which is absent in a neuronal isoform of V1H. Thus, V1H controls ATG16L1 recruitment in response to proton gradient dissipation, suggesting that the V-ATPase acts autonomously as a cell-intrinsic damage sensor.
