Rab7 promotes fusion of autophagosomes and late endosomes with lysosomes. Lőrincz et al. show that Rab2 is critical for the delivery of autophagic and endocytic cargo to lysosomes and for their degradation, and that it promotes autophagosome–lysosome fusion. The results suggest Rab2 and Rab7 coordinately promote autophagic and endosomal degradation and lysosome function. Rab7 promotes fusion of autophagosomes and late endosomes with lysosomes in yeast and metazoan cells, acting together with its effector, the tethering complex HOPS. Here we show that another small GTPase, Rab2, is also required for autophagosome and endosome maturation and proper lysosome function in Drosophila melanogaster. We demonstrate that Rab2 binds to HOPS, and that its active, GTP-locked form associates with autolysosomes. Importantly, expression of active Rab2 promotes autolysosomal fusions unlike that of GTP-locked Rab7, suggesting that its amount is normally rate limiting. We also demonstrate that RAB2A is required for autophagosome clearance in human breast cancer cells. In conclusion, we identify Rab2 as a key factor for autophagic and endocytic cargo delivery to and degradation in lysosomes.
