Molecular regulation of autophagosome formation [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2022
Macroautophagy, hereafter autophagy, is a degradative process conserved among eukaryotes, which is essential to maintain cellular homeostasis. Defects in autophagy lead to numerous human diseases, including various types of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

The activation of KSHV lytic cycle blocks autophagy in PEL cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This study confirms that autophagy is activated concomitantly with KSHV lytic cycle induction, and that autophagy inhibition by BECN1 knockdown reduces viral lytic gene expression.

Herpesvirus and Autophagy: “All Right, Everybody Be Cool, This Is a Robbery!”

open access: yesViruses, 2017
Autophagy is an essential vacuolar process of the cell, leading to lysosomal degradation and recycling of proteins and organelles, which is extremely important in maintaining homeostasis.

ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE3 Is a Receptor for Selective Autophagy of the Endoplasmic Reticulum in Arabidopsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE3 (RHD3) is a plant member of atlastin GTPases, which belong to an evolutionally conserved family of proteins that mediate the homotypic fusion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

An effector of the Irish potato famine pathogen antagonizes a host autophagy cargo receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plants use autophagy to safeguard against infectious diseases. However, how plant pathogens interfere with autophagy-related processes is unknown. Here, we show that PexRD54, an effector from the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, binds

LC3 and STRAP regulate actin filament assembly by JMY during autophagosome formation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
During autophagy, actin filament networks move and remodel cellular membranes to form autophagosomes that enclose and metabolize cytoplasmic contents. Two actin regulators, WHAMM and JMY, participate in autophagosome formation, but the signals linking ...

Autophagosomes fuse to phagosomes and facilitate the degradation of apoptotic cells in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Autophagosomes are double-membrane intracellular vesicles that degrade protein aggregates, intracellular organelles, and other cellular components.

The proppin Bcas3 and its interactor KinkyA localize to the early phagophore and regulate autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
To resolve the signaling mechanisms that mediate the starvation-induced processes of Dictyostelium sporulation and encystation, we performed insertional mutagenesis on cells harboring an mRFP-tagged spore gene.

Quantitative 3D correlative light and electron microscopy of organelle association during autophagy

open access: yesCell Structure and Function, 2022
In macroautophagy, disk-shaped double-membrane structures called phagophores elongate to form cup-shaped structures, becoming autophagosomes upon closure. These autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to become autolysosomes and degrade engulfed material.
