K-Ras dependent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells are 'addicted'to basal
autophagy that reprograms cellular metabolism in a lysosomal-sensitive manner. Here we
demonstrate that the xenophagy-associated kinase TBK1 drives basal autophagy,
consistent with its known requirement in K-Ras-dependent NSCLC proliferation.
Furthermore, basal autophagy in this context is characterised by sequestration of the

K-Ras dependent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells are ‘addicted’ to basal autophagy that reprograms cellular metabolism in a lysosomal-sensitive manner. Here we demonstrate that the xenophagy-associated kinase TBK1 drives basal autophagy, consistent with its known requirement in K-Ras-dependent NSCLC proliferation. Furthermore, basal autophagy in this context is characterised by sequestration of the xenophagy cargo receptor Ndp52 and its paralogue Tax1bp1, which we demonstrate here to be a bona fide cargo receptor. Autophagy of these cargo receptors promotes non-canonical NF-κB signalling. We propose that this TBK1-dependent mechanism for NF-κB signalling contributes to autophagy addiction in K-Ras driven NSCLC.
