Melatonin Attenuates Ischemic-like Cell Injury by Promoting Autophagosome Maturation via the Sirt1/FoxO1/Rab7 Axis in Hippocampal HT22 Cells and in Organotypic Cultures

open access: yesCells, 2022
Dysfunctional autophagy is linked to neuronal damage in ischemia/reperfusion injury. The Ras-related protein 7 (Rab7), a member of the Rab family of small GTPases, appears crucial for the progression of the autophagic flux, and its activity is strictly ...

A conserved requirement for RME-8/DNAJC13 in neuronal autolysosome reformation in C. elegans and cultured mouse cortical neurons

open access: yes, 2023
Autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes, forming autolysosomes that degrade engulfed cargo. To maintain lysosomal capacity, autolysosome reformation (ALR) must regenerate lysosomes from autolysosomes using a membrane tubule-based process.

Impact of the Autophagy Machinery on Hepatitis C Virus Infection

open access: yesViruses, 2011
Autophagy is a cellular process that catabolizes cytoplasmic components and maintains energy homeostasis. As a stress response, the autophagy machinery interconnects a wide range of cellular pathways, enhancing the spread of certain pathogens while ...

RUNDC1 inhibits autolysosome formation and survival of zebrafish via clasping ATG14-STX17-SNAP29 complex

open access: yes, 2023
Autophagy serves as a pro-survival mechanism for a cell or a whole organism to cope with nutrient stress. Our understanding of the molecular regulation of this fusion event remains incomplete.

Interaction between PHB2 and Enterovirus A71 VP1 Induces Autophagy and Affects EV-A71 Infection

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a major pathogen that causes severe and fatal cases of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD). HFMD caused by EV-A71 seriously endangers children’s health.

RRM2 Mediates the Anti-Tumor Effect of the Natural Product Pectolinarigenin on Glioblastoma Through Promoting CDK1 Protein Degradation by Increasing Autophagic Flux

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
The natural product pectolinarigenin exerts anti-inflammatory activity and anti-tumor effects, and exhibits different biological functions, particularly in autophagy and cell cycle regulation.

Mechanism of Acrosome Biogenesis in Mammals

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes fuse to form the zygote, and the acrosome is essential to this fusion process (fertilization) in animals.

Phase separation of Nur77 mediates celastrol-induced mitophagy by promoting the liquidity of p62/SQSTM1 condensates

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
How phase separation participates in mitophagy remains unclear. Here the authors show that Nur77 and p62/SQSTM1 through “head-to-head” and “tail-to-tail” interactions form membraneless condensates capable of sequestering dysfunctional mitochondria and ...

Molecular Mechanism of Autophagosome–Lysosome Fusion in Mammalian Cells

open access: yesCells
In eukaryotes, targeting intracellular components for lysosomal degradation by autophagy represents a catabolic process that evolutionarily regulates cellular homeostasis.

Rab7 knockout unveiled regulated autolysosome maturation induced by glutamine starvation

open access: yes, 2018
Macroautophagy (simply called autophagy hereafter) is an intracellular degradation mechanism that is activated by nutrient starvation. Although it is well-known that starvation induces autophagosome formation in an mTORC1-dependent manner, whether ...
