Autophagy is a highly conserved process that degrades certain intracellular contents in both physiological and pathological conditions. Autophagy-related proteins ( ATG ) are key players in this pathway, among which  ATG5  is indispensable in both canonical and non-canonical autophagy. Recent studies demonstrate that  ATG5  modulates the immune system and crosstalks with apoptosis. However, our knowledge of the pathogenesis and regulatory mechanisms of autophagy in various immune related diseases is lacking. Thus, a deeper understanding of  ATG5 's role in the autophagy mechanism may shed light on the link between autophagy and the immune response, and lead to the development of new therapies for autoimmune diseases and autoinflammatory diseases. In this focused review, we discuss the latest insights into the role of  ATG5  in autoimmunity. Although these studies are at a relatively early stage,  ATG5  may eventually come to be regarded as a “guardian of immune integrity.” Notably, accumulating evidence indicates that other  ATG  genes may have similar functions.
