SK1-associated autophagy differs between neurons and astrocytes.
Benzoxazine autophagy inducers upregulate SK1 and neuroprotective autophagy in neurons but not in astrocytes.
Starvation enhances SK1-associated autophagy in astrocytes but not in neurons.
In astrocytes, SK1 is cytoprotective and promotes degradation of mutant huntingtin.
Overexpressed SK1 is toxic to neurons, and the toxicity localizes to the neuronal soma.
