The V-ATPase/ATG16L1 axis is controlled by the V <sub>1</sub> H subunit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Defects in organellar acidification indicate compromised or infected compartments. Recruitment of the autophagy-related ATG16L1 complex to pathologically de-acidified compartments targets ubiquitin-like ATG8 molecules to perturbed membranes. How this process is coupled to pH gradient disruption is unclear. Here, we reveal a direct role for the V 1 H subunit of the V-ATPase proton pump in recruiting ATG16L1. The interaction between V 1 H and ATG16L1 occurs within assembled V-ATPases, but not dissociated V 1 complexes. This selectivity allows recruitment to be coupled to changes in V-ATPase assembly that follow pH dissipation. Cells lacking V 1 H undergo canonical macroautophagy but are unable to recruit ATG16L1 in response to influenza infection or ionophore drugs. We identify a loop within V 1 H that mediates ATG16L1 binding, which is absent in a neuronal isoform of V 1 H. Thus, V 1 H controls ATG16L1 recruitment in response to proton gradient dissipation, suggesting that the V-ATPase acts autonomously as a cell-intrinsic damage sensor.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
