Among the various signals governing autophagy, ubiquitination plays a critical role both by controlling the stability of upstream regulators or components of macroautophagy/autophagy pathways and by facilitating the recruitment of cargo to autophagy receptors. As such, modulators of ubiquitin signaling can influence autophagic substrate degradation. Recently, we identified a non-proteolytic ubiquitin signal at the Ragulator complex subunit LAMTOR1 that is reversed by the deubiquitinase USP32. Loss of USP32 promotes ubiquitination within the unstructured N-terminal region of LAMTOR1 and prevents its efficient interaction with the vacuolar-type H + -ATPase, a prerequisite for full activation of MTORC1 at lysosomes. Consequently, MTORC1 activity is decreased and autophagy is upregulated in USP32 knockout cells. This phenotype is conserved in  Caenorhabditis elegans . Depletion of USP32 homolog CYK-3 in worms results in LET-363/MTOR inhibition and autophagy induction. Based on our data, we propose an additional control layer of the MTORC1 activation cascade at lysosomes via USP32-regulated LAMTOR1 ubiquitination.

LAMTOR1 ubiquitination restricts its interaction with the vacuolar-type H + -ATPase, promotes autophagy and is controlled by USP32
