The paper uses computational models and mutagenesis to test if Rft1 is essential for M5-DLO scrambling in yeast, finding that scrambling is dispensable while M5-DLO binding is critical.

This paper identifies the V1H subunit of V-ATPase as a regulator of ATG16L1 recruitment in response to pH gradient disruption, linking V-ATPase function to autophagy activation.

This study characterizes the human Rft1 protein, showing it is an ER membrane protein essential for N-glycosylation, with mutations affecting its function in congenital disorders of glycosylation.
