Abstract

Macroautophagy is a key regulator of cellular integrity and viability, but how the process facilitates apoptosis has remained poorly defined. It has now become clear that autophagy degrades the Fap-1 protein phosphatase, a critical negative regulator of apoptotic cell death signalled by the TNF receptor family member, Fas.
