Mechanisms of autophagosome formation

open access: yesProceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B
The formation of autophagosomes is a pivotal step in autophagy, a lysosomal degradation system that plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. After autophagy induction, phase separation of the autophagy-related (Atg) 1 complex occurs, facilitating the gathering of Atg proteins and organizes the autophagosome formation site, where the ...

Vesicular trafficking and autophagosome formation [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Differentiation, 2009
The source of the autophagosome membrane, and the formation of the autophagosome remain the most important questions for understanding autophagy. Fundamentally, the process of autophagosome formation is similar between yeast and mammalian cells and many of the proteins involved (called the autophagy-related (Atg) proteins) are known, having been first ...

TBK1 Induces the Formation of Optineurin Filaments That Condensate with Polyubiquitin and LC3 for Cargo Sequestration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Phosphorylation of Optineurin by TBK1 induces the formation of filaments that condensate upon binding to linear polyubiquitin. Membrane‐anchored LC3 partitions into these condensates, suggesting that phase separation of filamentous Optineurin with ubiquitylated cargo promotes the sequestration of cargo and its subsequent alignment with LC3‐positive ...

Inhibitory effect of mTOR activator MHY1485 on autophagy: suppression of lysosomal fusion. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Autophagy is a major degradative process responsible for the disposal of cytoplasmic proteins and dysfunctional organelles via the lysosomal pathway. During the autophagic process, cells form double-membraned vesicles called autophagosomes that sequester

CemOrange2 fusions facilitate multifluorophore subcellular imaging in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Due to its ease of genetic manipulation and transparency, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has become a preferred model system to study gene function by microscopy.

Alkyltriphenylphosphonium Binding to Cardiolipin Triggers Oncosis in Cancer Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Alkyltriphenylphosphonium, exemplified by TPP+‐C14, preferentially accumulates in mitochondria and selectively binds to cardiolipin, a key phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, causing loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, severe cellular ATP depletion, and calcium imbalance.

LAMP-2 is required for incorporating syntaxin-17 into autophagosomes and for their fusion with lysosomes

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process used for removing surplus and damaged proteins and organelles from the cytoplasm. The unwanted material is incorporated into autophagosomes that eventually fuse with lysosomes, leading to the degradation ...

Proteomic profiling of autophagosome cargo in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Macroautophagy (autophagy) is a bulk protein-degradation system ubiquitously conserved in eukaryotic cells. During autophagy, cytoplasmic components are enclosed in a membrane compartment, called an autophagosome. The autophagosome fuses with the vacuole/

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.

Viruses and arrested autophagosome development [PDF]

open access: yesAutophagy, 2009
Autophagy is acknowledged as an important cellular defense mechanism against intracellular pathogens. As with other innate immune responses, pathogens have adapted to evade autophagy and in some cases, subvert the pathway to promote their own replication.
