ABSTRACT
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system for cytoplasmic constituents which is mediated by the formation of a double-membrane organelle termed the autophagosome and its subsequent fusion with the lysosome/vacuole. The formation of the autophagosome requires membrane from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is tightly regulated by a series of autophagy-related (ATG) proteins and lipids. However, how the ER contacts autophagosomes and regulates autophagy remain elusive in plants. In this study, we identified and demonstrated the roles of Arabidopsis oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 2A (ORP2A) in mediating ER-autophagosomal membrane contacts and autophagosome biogenesis. We showed that ORP2A localizes to both ER-plasma membrane contact sites (EPCSs) and autophagosomes, and that ORP2A interacts with both the ER-localized VAMP-associated protein (VAP) 27-1 and ATG8e on the autophagosomes to mediate the membrane contact sites (MCSs). In ORP2A artificial microRNA knockdown (KD) plants, seedlings display retarded growth and impaired autophagy levels. Both ATG1a and ATG8e accumulated and associated with the ER membrane in ORP2A KD lines. Moreover, ORP2A binds multiple phospholipids and shows colocalization with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P) in vivo. Taken together, ORP2A mediates ER-autophagosomal MCSs and regulates autophagy through PI3P redistribution.
