Bioorthogonal Tools for Ethanolamine Lipids and Protein Conjugates. [PDF]
An alkyne‐tagged ethanolamine analog (AlkEA) enables bioorthogonal, metabolic labeling of endogenous phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and its protein modifications. AlkEA is incorporated into PE via the Kennedy pathway, allowing CuAAC‐based visualization of PE and affinity capture of PE‐conjugated LC3, ubiquitin, and GPI‐anchored proteins.

The BTB/POZ-MATH Protein ZmBPM1 Interacts With Autophagy-related Protein ZmATG6 and Modulates the NLR Protein Rp1-D21-Mediated Defense Response in Maize. [PDF]
The maize BTB/POZ‐MATH (BPM) protein ZmBPM1 interacts with autophagy‐related protein ZmATG6 to relocate the NLR protein Rp1‐D21 from the nucleo‐cytoplasmic compartment into autophagosome‐like puncta, leading to autophagy‐mediated turnover and suppressing the hypersensitive response.

Atg7–Atg12 conjugation and autophagy are negatively regulated by the disordered region of Atg12 [PDF]
The macroautophagy/autophagy machinery has two ubiquitin-like (UBL) conjugation systems. The Atg8/MAP1LC3/GABARAP (yeast/human) and Atg12/ATG12 proteins are UBL substrates for Atg7/ATG7, a non-canonical E1 enzyme, that thioesterifies its substrates ...

The Role of ATG8 in Promoting Lipid Accumulation in the Oleaginous Fungus Mucor circinelloides During Nitrogen Limitation [PDF]
Autophagy is a central cellular process that recycles intracellular components and supplies precursors for biosynthesis. As a key regulator of autophagosome formation, autophagy-related protein 8 (ATG8) plays an essential role in macromolecular ...

MdATG5a-mediated autophagy improves apple performance under low light. [PDF]
SUMMARY Apples are sun‐loving plants, and excessive canopy closure in orchards leads to poor ventilation and reduced light penetration, ultimately limiting yield and fruit quality. Autophagy is a conserved mechanism for recycling cellular materials and energy in eukaryotes and is known to participate in multiple stress responses.

Atg8-Family Proteins—Structural Features and Molecular Interactions in Autophagy and Beyond
Autophagy is a common name for a number of catabolic processes, which keep the cellular homeostasis by removing damaged and dysfunctional intracellular components.

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates various proteostasis control processes, including the unfolded protein response, ribosome‐associated quality control, and ER‐associated degradation. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications dynamically regulate these processes to determine cell fate, promoting adaptation or inducing cell death.

Atg8ylation as a general membrane stress and remodeling response
The yeast Atg8 protein and its paralogs in mammals, mammalian Atg8s (mAtg8s), have been primarily appreciated for their participation in autophagy. However, lipidated mAtg8s, including the most frequently used autophagosomal membrane marker LC3B, are ...

Dissecting the function of Atg1 complex in Dictyostelium autophagy reveals a connection with the pentose phosphate pathway enzyme transketolase [PDF]
The network of protein–protein interactions of the Dictyostelium discoideum autophagy pathway was investigated by yeast two-hybrid screening of the conserved autophagic proteins Atg1 and Atg8.
