AMPK-dependent activation of the Cyclin Y/CDK16 complex controls autophagy

AMPK integrates information about a cell’s energy status to inform decisions about cellular processes, including autophagy. Here the authors identify cyclin Y as an AMPK substrate, which phosphorylates cyclin Y and promotes its interaction with CDK16 to stimulate autophagy.
