Structures of Atg7-Atg3 and Atg7-Atg10 reveal noncanonical mechanisms of E2 recruitment by the autophagy E1 [PDF]
Autophagy, 2013 Central to most forms of autophagy are two ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs), Atg8 and Atg12, which play important roles in autophagosome biogenesis, substrate recruitment to autophagosomes, and other aspects of autophagy. Typically, UBLs are activated by an E1 enzyme that (1) catalyzes adenylation of the UBL C terminus, (2) transiently covalently ...

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 Lung cancer primarily arises from exposure to various environmental factors, particularly airborne pollutants. Among the various lung carcinogens, benzo(a)pyrene and its metabolite B[a]PDE are the strongest ones that actively contribute to lung cancer ...

Effector Caspase Dcp-1 and IAP Protein Bruce Regulate Starvation-Induced Autophagy during Drosophila Melanogaster Oogenesis [PDF]
, 2008 A complex relationship exists between autophagy and apoptosis, but the regulatory mechanisms underlying their interactions are largely unknown. We conducted a systematic study of Drosophila melanogaster cell death–related genes to determine their ...

atg7 -Based Autophagy Activation Reverses Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2021 Rationale: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) is a major side effect that limits the use of anthracyclines as effective chemotherapeutics. No mechanism-based therapy is available when cardiac function deteriorates.

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2014 Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

Germline variants of ATG7 in familial cholangiocarcinoma alter autophagy and p62
Scientific Reports, 2022 Autophagy is a housekeeping mechanism tasked with eliminating misfolded proteins and damaged organelles to maintain cellular homeostasis. Autophagy deficiency results in increased oxidative stress, DNA damage and chronic cellular injury.

Parkin-independent mitophagy controls chemotherapeutic response in cancer cells [PDF]
, 2017 Mitophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that selectively targets impaired mitochondria for degradation. Defects in mitophagy are often associated with diverse pathologies, including cancer.
