Abstract

COPII vesicles mediate anterograde ER-Golgi traffic of newly synthesized proteins in nutrient rich conditions. An accumulating body of results indicates that the secretory COPII vesicles can be shifted to the roles in autophagosome formation and selective ER-phagy (autophagy of ER), depending on their specific subunits, in response to environmental stresses. In this mini-review, we summarize and discuss the multifaceted roles of COPII vesicles in autophagy and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Keywords: Autophagy; COPII; ER-Golgi traffic; ER-phagy.
