 This research paper examined the role of two proteins, LGG-1 and LGG-2, in the process of autophagy in the nematode kinohobditis elegans. It was found that these proteins are essential for autophagy and development, but that they can also perform independent functions. Specifically, it was shown that the cleaved form of LGG-1 is necessary for autophagy, while the lipidated form is not. Additionally, it was revealed that the lipidated form of LGG-1 may have an additional function in embryogenesis. These findings suggest that the lipidation of LGG-1 is not necessarily indicative of autophagic activity, and that the proteins themselves may have more complex roles than previously thought.
