Macroautophagy is a dynamic process whereby portions of the cytosol are encapsulated in double-membrane vesicles and delivered to the lysosome for degradation. Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI(3)P) is concentrated on autophagic vesicles and recruits effector proteins critical for this process. The production of PI(3)P by the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Vps34, has been well established; however, protein phosphatases which antagonize this early step in autophagy remain to be identified. To identify such enzymes, we screened human phosphatase genes by RNA interference (RNAi) and found that loss of PTPsigma, a dual-domain protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP), increases cellular PI(3)P. The abundant PI(3)P-positive vesicles conferred by PTPsigma loss strikingly phenocopied those observed in amino acid-starved cells. Accordingly, we discovered that loss of PTPsigma hyperactivates both constitutive and induced autophagy. Finally, we found that PTPsigma localizes to PI(3)P-positive membranes in cells and this vesicular localization is enhanced during autophagy. Our findings propose a novel role for PTPsigma and provide insight into the regulation of autophagy. Mechanistic knowledge of this process is critical for understanding and targeting therapies for several human diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease, in which abnormal autophagy may be pathological.
