G116A abolishes the conjugation of LGG-1 to the membrane but not its cleavage.

(A) Schematic representation of the various isoforms of Atg8s proteins after cleavage of the precursor and reversible conjugation to a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). (B) Diagram of the theoretical proteins produced by the allelic lgg-1 series used in this study. LGG-1(Δ) protein corresponds to the reference allele lgg-1(tm3489), considered as a null, all others mutants have been generated using CRISP-Cas9. Black arrows point to the di-glycine residues which are mutated in alanine or stop codon (*). Other deletion mutants of the C-terminus result from non-homologous end joining. The mapping of the epitopes recognized by the LGG-1 antibodies (Ab#1, 2, 3) used in this study are indicated by horizontal grey arrows. (C) Western blot analysis of endogenous LGG-1 from total protein extracts of wild-type, lgg-1(G116A), lgg-1(G116AG117*), lgg-1(G116AG117A), lgg-1(Δ) young adults. The data shown is representative of three experiments using Ab#3 and was confirmed with Ab#1. The theoretic molecular mass of the precursor, and the form I are 14.8 kDa and 14.0 kDa, respectively, while the lipidated form II migrates faster. The asterisk indicates an unknown band. The quantification of each LGG-1 isoforms was normalized using tubulin. (D–L) Immunofluorescence analysis of endogenous LGG-1 (Ab#1 or Ab#2) in early and late embryos in wild-type (D), lgg-1(Δ) (E), lgg-1(G116A) (F), lgg-1(Δ112–123) (G), lgg-1(G116AG117*) (H), lgg-1(G116AG117A) (I), lgg-1(Δ100–123) (J). Inset in E shows the corresponding DAPI staining of nuclei. Box-plots quantification showing the absence of puncta in all lgg-1 mutants (K, left n=19, 13, 11, 10, 6, 7, 6; right n=18, 14, 12, 10, 10, 9, 12) and the increase of cytosolic staining in lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-1(G116AG117*) (L, n=19, 13, 11, 10). Kruskal Wallis test, p-value *<0.05, **<0.01, ****<0.0001, NS non-significant. Scale bar is 10 µm. (M) Cellular fractionation of membrane vesicles. Western blot analysis for detection of LGG-1 together with LGG-2 (autophagosome marker), SEL-1 (ER marker), and CDC-48 (ER-associated and cytosol) using supernatant (S) and pellet (P) fractions of lgg-1 wild-type, lgg-1(G116A), and lgg-1(G116AG117*) worm lysates treated with fractionation buffer (-), sodium chloride (NaCl) or Triton X-100 (TX-100) after subcellular fractionation. Proteins associated with membranes are solubilized by NaCl, and resident proteins in membrane-bound organelles are released only by dissolving the membrane with detergents. While wild-type LGG-1 is detected in the cytosolic fraction (input S) and in the various membrane fractions, mutant LGG-1 is almost exclusively present in the cytosolic fraction in lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-1(G116AG117*).

GFP::LGG-1(G116A) does not localize to autophagosomes.

(A) Western blot analysis of GFP::LGG-1 and GFP::LGG-1(G116A) using Ab#3, from total protein extracts from young adults. Accumulation of the precursor but absence of form II is observed. Molecular weight markers (kDa) are indicated on the left. (B) Schema of the experimental approach indicating the GFP reporters and the autophagy steps affected upon specific RNAi depletion. A 60 minutes heat-stress at 37 °C induces an autophagy flux. (C–D) In vivo epifluorescence images of GFP::LGG-1(wt) (left columns) and GFP::LGG-1(G116A) (right columns) in the epidermis of control, atg-3(RNAi), atg-7(RNAi), epg-5(RNAi),and rab-7(RNAi) 4th stage larvae. GFP::LGG-1(wt) puncta indicate the autophagosomes formed upon autophagy induction. The alteration of the conjugation process (atg-3, atg-7) or the fusion with the lysosome (epg-5, rab-7) results in a decrease or an accumulation of the puncta, respectively. GFP::LGG-1(G116A) does not localize to autophagosomes even in the conditions of strong accumulation. The zoomed images are 3 fold magnifications of the dotted rectangles. Scale bar is 50 µm. Quantifications are shown in (D) (n=10, 10, 6, 7, 10, 10, 4, 8, 10, 10, 7, 10, 10, 10, 4, 6, 10, 10, 5, 6). (E–F) Electron microscopy images of GFP-immunolabeled GFP::LGG-1(wt) and GFP::LGG-1(G116A) in the epidermis of 4th stage larvae after heat stress. Arrows indicates gold beads present on autophagosomes and quantifications are shown in (F). In GFP::LGG-1(G116A) animals labelled autophagosomes are very rare and beads are located in the lumen (n=110, 116, from four independent immunostainings). Scale bar is 200 nm.

Atg8(G116A) and Atg8(G116AR117*) are functional for vacuolar shaping but not for autophagy in S. cerevisiae.

(A) Schematic representation of wild-type and mutant Atg8 proteins. (B) Autophagic activity is abolished in S. cerevisiae mutant strains atg8G116A or atg8G116A-R117Δ forms of Atg8. Autophagic activity of wild-type, atg1Δ, atg8Δ, atg8G116A and atg8G116AR117* strains was measured using the quantitative Pho8Δ60 assay, before (+N) and after (-N) 4 hours of nitrogen starvation. The data shown are the mean ± s.e.m. of three independent experiments (Mann-Whitney test, p-value****<0.0001). (C) S. cerevisiae mutants atg8Δ, atg8G116A or atg8G116AR117* have a similar cell viability defect upon nitrogen starvation. (D) Epifluorescence image of FM4-64 staining of the vacuole of wild-type and atg8 mutant strains (single focal plan). (E) Quantification of vacuoles in wild-type and atg8 mutants. atg8G116A and atg8G116AR117* mutants present a less severe vacuolar phenotype than atg8Δ mutant (n>200 cells, Chi-square test, p-value *<0.05, ***<0.001, ****<0.0001). (F) Rescue assays of atg8Δ by lgg-1(wt), lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-1(G116AG117*). In the upper part, the survival in nitrogen starvation of atg8Δ cells transformed with lgg-1(wt) or ATG8 is compared with atg8Δ and wild-type. In the lower part, the survival in nitrogen starvation of atg8Δ cells transformed with lgg-1(wt), lgg-1(G116A), lgg-1(G116AG117*) are compared with atg8Δ. The percentage of surviving cells was calculated in comparison with day 0. lgg-1(G116A) expression improves the survival but less efficiently than lgg-1(wt). Black and red stars show statistical difference with wild-type and atg8Δ, respectively, Mann-Whitney test, p-value **<0.001.

Autophagy but not developmental function of LGG-1(G116A) partially depends on LGG-2.

(A–F) DIC images of embryos and bright field images of adults in wild-type (A), lgg-2(tm5755) (B, E), lgg-1(G116A); lgg-2(tm5755) (C, F). The double mutant lgg-1(G116A); lgg-2(tm5755) animals have no morphogenetic defects and no decrease in viability compare to single mutants or the lgg-1(Δ) (quantification in D). (G–H) Bulk autophagy during stress and aging was assessed by starvation survival (G, Chi-square test at day 9 ***p-value <0.001) and worm longevity (H, log rank test n>100 animals, ***p-value <0.001, ****p-value <0.0001). The survival of double mutants lgg-1(G116A); lgg-2(tm5755) and lgg-1(G116AG117*); lgg-2(5755) is reduced compared to wild-type and single mutant lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-2(tm5755). lgg-1(G116A); lgg-2(tm5755) animals survive to starvation better than lgg-1(G116AG117*); lgg-2(5755) and present a slightly higher lifespan. (I–K) In vivo epifluorescence imaging of paternal mitochondria (HSP-6::GFP) at the 1 cell, 15 cells, and 30 cells stages in lgg-2(tm5755), (I) lgg-1(G116A); lgg-2(tm5755) (J) embryos and quantification (n=50, 39, 35, 45, 46 Chi-square test ****<0.0001) (K). Elimination of mitochondria is efficient but delayed in lgg-1(G116A); lgg-2(5755) compared to lgg-1(G116A). Insets show the corresponding DIC pictures.

In lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-1(G116AG117*) mutants LGG-2 is detected as heterogeneous sparse structures that persist. (G–J) Colocalization analysis of paternal mitochondria (HSP-6::GFP) and LGG-2 puncta (H) from confocal images of wild-type (H), lgg-1(G116A) (I) and lgg-1(G116AG117*) (J) early embryos. (Mean + SD, n=16, 20, 12, Kruskal Wallis test p-value*<0.05). The clustering of paternal mitochondria and LGG-2 autophagosomes are absent in lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-1(G116AG117*) where HSP-6::GFP and LGG-2 puncta are mainly separated with rare colocalization events (yellow arrows). (K) Western blot analysis of endogenous LGG-2 from total protein extracts from wild-type, lgg-1(G116A), lgg-1(G116AG117*), lgg-1(Δ) young adults.

Colocalization quantification of HSP-6::GFP and LGG-2.

Quantification of puncta positive for the paternal mitochondria marker HSP-6::GFP, the autophagosomal marker LGG-2 and both, in early embryos wild-type, lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-1(G116AG117*) (Mean + SD, n=16, 20, 12 Kruskal Wallis p-value*<0.05, **<0.01).

The cleaved LGG-1 is sufficient for autophagosome biogenesis.

(A–J) Electron microscopy images of autophagosomes in wild-type (A), lgg-1(Δ) (B), lgg-1(G116A) (C–E), lgg-1(G116AG117*) (F–G), lgg-1(G116A); lgg-2(tm5755) (H), lgg-1(G116AG117*) lgg-2(tm5755) (I) and lgg-2(tm5755) (J) early embryos. Type 1 autophagosomes (A, C, D) appear as closed structures containing various membrane organelles. Among those, sequestered paternal mitochondria (black arrows) are observed in wild-type and lgg-1(G116A) embryos but remain unsequestered in lgg-1(Δ) and lgg-1(G116AG117*) embryos. Type 2 autophagosomes (E, white arrow in H, J) appear as closed structures containing unidentified or degraded materials. Type 3 structures (G, I) are multi-lamellar structures only detected in lgg-1(G116AG117*) embryos. Scale bar is 200 nm. (K) Quantification of type 1, type 2, and type 3 structures in early embryo (1–12 cells). In lgg-1(G116A) embryos, the numbers of type 1 and type 2 autophagosomal structures increase supporting a retarded degradation. The formation of autophagosomes in lgg-1(G116A) and lgg-1(G116AG117*) embryos is partially dependent of LGG-2 (n sections = 32, 62, 32, 19, 32, 26, 52).
