Proteolytic cleavage of Beclin 1 exacerbates neurodegeneration [PDF]
Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2018 Background Neuronal cell loss contributes to the pathology of acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It remains crucial to identify molecular mechanisms sensitizing neurons to various insults and cell death.

The Role of Beclin 1-Dependent Autophagy in Cancer [PDF]
Biology, 2019 Autophagy (self-eating) is an intracellular degradation process used by cells to keep a “clean house”; as it degrades abnormal or damaged proteins and organelles, it helps to fight infections and also provides energy in times of fasting or ...

Beclin 1 Phosphorylation – at the Center of Autophagy Regulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 Autophagy is a tightly regulated catabolic process wherein cells under stress sequester cytosolic constituents like damaged proteins and organelles in double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes.

Beclin 1, LC3 and P62 Expression in Equine Sarcoids [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Background: It is well known that δ-bovine papillomaviruses (BPV-1, BPV-2 and BPV-13) are one of the major causative agents of equine sarcoids, the most common equine skin tumors.

Beclin-1 Targeting for Viral Immune Escape [PDF]
Viruses, 2011 Macroautophagy is a catabolic pathway in eukaryotic cells that has recently been shown to facilitate pathogen detection, pathogen restriction and pathogen-derived antigen presentation to CD4+ T cells.

The Beclin 1 interactome [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2010 The mammalian ortholog of yeast Atg6/Vps30, Beclin 1, is an essential autophagy protein that has been linked to diverse biological processes, including immunity, development, tumor suppression, lifespan extension, and protection against certain cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases.

Regulation of Beclin 1 in autophagy [PDF]
Autophagy, 2009 Class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3KC3) plays a pleiotropic role in autophagy and protein sorting pathways. The human core complex of PI3KC3 consists of three major components including PI3KC3/hVps34, p150 and Beclin 1. How the specificity of PI3KC3 complex is derived towards autophagy is not clear. Utilizing a sequential affinity purification

Neurodegeneration Induces Upregulation of Beclin 1 [PDF]
Autophagy, 2006 Autophagy, a bulk degradation of subcellular constituents, is activated in normal cell growth and development, and represents the major pathway by which the cell maintains a balance between protein synthesis and protein degradation. Autophagy was documented in several neurodegenerative diseases, and under stress conditions the autophagic process can ...

Involvement of Beclin 1 in Engulfment of Apoptotic Cells [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012 Efficient apoptotic cell engulfment is important for both tissue homeostasis and immune response in mammals. In the present study, we report that Beclin 1 (a regulator of autophagy) is required for apoptotic cell engulfment. The engulfment process was largely abolished in Beclin 1 knock-out cells, and Beclin 1 knockdown significantly decreased ...

ER-Targeted Beclin 1 Supports Autophagosome Biogenesis in the Absence of ULK1 and ULK2 Kinases
Cells, 2019 Autophagy transports cytoplasmic material and organelles to lysosomes for degradation and recycling. Beclin 1 forms a complex with several other autophagy proteins and functions in the initiation phase of autophagy, but the exact role of Beclin 1 ...
