Some journals are claiming that you need to pay big $$ for gold open access to comply with NIH's new public access policy. FYI that is total bs. You can comply by depositing the Accepted Manuscript into PubMed Central on the Date of Publication without embargo. Pass it on.

Pleased to see our paper now published in Autophagy Reports!
Great work from all involved to discover more about how "protein ATG8ylation" works.
The big question is still "why?"
"ATG5 is dispensable for ATG8ylation of cellular proteins"
