Connexins : substrates and regulators of autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Connexins mediate intercellular communication by assembling into hexameric channel complexes that act as hemichannels and gap junction channels. Most connexins are characterized by a very rapid turn-over in a variety of cell systems.

Zinc Finger Transcription Factor MZF1—A Specific Regulator of Cancer Invasion

open access: yesCells, 2020
Over 90% of cancer deaths are due to cancer cells metastasizing into other organs. Invasion is a prerequisite for metastasis formation. Thus, inhibition of invasion can be an efficient way to prevent disease progression in these patients.

The selective degradation of sirtuins via macroautophagy in the MPP+ model of Parkinson’s disease is promoted by conserved oxidation sites

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2021
The sirtuin (SIRT) protein family has been of major research interest over the last decades because of their involvement in aging, cancer, and cell death.

MIR376A is a regulator of starvation-induced autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Autophagy is a vesicular trafficking process responsible for the degradation of long-lived, misfolded or abnormal proteins, as well as damaged or surplus organelles.

Unraveling membrane properties at the organelle-level with LipidDyn

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022
Cellular membranes are formed from different lipids in various amounts and proportions depending on the subcellular localization. The lipid composition of membranes is sensitive to changes in the cellular environment, and its alterations are linked to ...

The Long-lived Protein Degradation Assay: an Efficient Method for Quantitative Determination of the Autophagic Flux of Endogenous Proteins in Adherent Cell Lines

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2018
Autophagy is a key player in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis in eukaryotes, and numerous diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with alterations in autophagy.

Glutamate induces autophagy via the two-pore channels in neural cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate) has been proposed as a second messenger for glutamate in neuronal and glial cells via the activation of the lysosomal Ca2+ channels TPC1 and TPC2.

TAK1-dependent autophagy: A suppressor of fatty liver disease and hepatic oncogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In addition to regulating the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), TGF-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) also upregulates the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy.

Pharmacological activation of SIRT6 triggers lethal autophagy in human cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a member of the NAD+-dependent class III deacetylase sirtuin family, which plays a key role in cancer by controlling transcription, genome stability, telomere integrity, DNA repair, and autophagy.

Autophagy and autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Immunology, 2017
Autophagy is a highly conserved protein degradation pathway from yeasts to humans that is essential for removing protein aggregates and misfolded proteins in healthy cells. Recently, autophagy-related genes polymorphisms have been implicated in several autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and ...
