The N-terminal region of the human autophagy protein ATG16L1 contains a domain that folds into a helical structure consistent with formation of a coiled-coil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Autophagy is a fundamental cellular process required for organelle degradation and removal of invasive pathogens. Autophagosome formation involves the recruitment of, and interaction between, multiple proteins produced from autophagy-related (ATG) genes.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) modulates host cellular autophagy progression in sub genomic dengue virus-2 replicon cells [PDF]
, 2019 Cellular autophagy (Macrophagy) is a self-degradative process, executed through the network of autophagy associated genes (ATGs) encoded proteins. Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that dengue virus (DENV) induces autophagy and supports the viral

Regulation of actin nucleation and autophagosome formation [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2016 Autophagy is a process of self-eating, whereby cytosolic constituents are enclosed by a double-membrane vesicle before delivery to the lysosome for degradation. This is an important process which allows for recycling of nutrients and cellular components and thus plays a critical role in normal cellular homeostasis as well as cell survival during ...

Loss of Drosophila Vps16A enhances autophagosome formation through reduced TOR activity. [PDF]
, 2015 The HOPS tethering complex facilitates autophagosome-lysosome fusion by binding to Syntaxin 17, the autophagosomal SNARE. Here we show that loss of the core HOPS complex subunit Vps16A enhances autophagosome formation and slows down Drosophila ...

A molecular switch for selective autophagosome formation [PDF]
Autophagy, 2015 Selective macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) can eliminate large cytotoxic structures that are designated for degradation by autophagy receptors. In our recent paper, we showed that a key function of target-bound autophagy receptors is to activate the autophagy kinase, Atg1, via interactions with the scaffold protein Atg11.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

SNAPping off Golgi membranes for autophagosome formation [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2012 Macroautophagy, hereafter referred as autophagy, is a lysosomal degradation process that is initiated from phagophore assembly sites (PAS), which expand to recruit Atg8/LC3 for the formation of iso...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...
