PN row 1: Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway | Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion | Localization of the autophagosome | Movement of autophagosomes along microtubules | HOPS-BORC complex bridging
UniProt: Q96BM9
In branches: ALP
Notes: Small GTPase that regulates lysosome positioning and bridges the HOPS and BORC complexes for autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Also serves as a link to the dynein-dynactin system for vesicles.

[subtype] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion|Localization of the autophagosome|Movement of autophagosomes along microtubules|HOPS-BORC complex bridging
status=mapped scope=ok_for_propagation_to_go GO=[GO:0061906 autophagosome localization]
rationale: This PN subtype denotes the bridging machinery that links HOPS/BORC-like late-endolysosomal transport systems to autophagosome positioning on microtubules. The best current GO target is autophagosome localization.
[type] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion|Localization of the autophagosome|Movement of autophagosomes along microtubules
status=mapped scope=ok_for_propagation_to_go GO=[GO:0061906 autophagosome localization]
rationale: This leaf describes a mechanism for positioning autophagosomes. The safe shared GO target is autophagosome localization, not the downstream fusion process.
[group] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion|Localization of the autophagosome
status=mapped scope=ok_for_propagation_to_go GO=[GO:0061906 autophagosome localization]
rationale: This group is explicitly about positioning/autophagosome localization in late autophagy. Autophagosome localization is the correct propagation target rather than autophagosome-lysosome fusion.
[class] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion
status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0016236 macroautophagy]
rationale: This class is a late macroautophagy context, but the subtree mixes docking, fusion, localization, membrane-composition, and unknown late-stage roles. The class-level relation is useful for display while propagation is restricted to narrower mechanism nodes.
[branch] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway
status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
rationale: Reviewed as the top-level PN branch. It is a project taxonomy umbrella rather than a direct GO assertion; all propagation must come from manually curated child nodes.

[type] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion|Autophagosome-lysosome docking|HOPS-BORC interaction mediator
status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0061909 autophagosome-lysosome fusion]
rationale: Reviewed as an interaction-mediator bucket in autophagosome-lysosome docking. The relation to fusion is contextual and should not project generic fusion to all members.

status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0061909 autophagosome-lysosome fusion]
rationale: Reviewed as an autophagosome-lysosome docking context. The subtree mixes component buckets and modulators, so generic fusion propagation should come only from narrower reviewed mechanism leaves.
