The ULK complex plays a well-known role in initiating autophagy, to recycle cellular components in response to nutritional stress. Here, the authors demonstrate a late role for ULK in auotophagosome–lysosome fusion and provide a direct link between ...

Age-related decline of chaperone-mediated autophagy in skeletal muscle leads to progressive myopathy. [PDF]
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) contributes to proteostasis maintenance by selectively degrading a subset of proteins in lysosomes. CMA declines with age in most tissues, including skeletal muscle.

Acetylated tau inhibits chaperone-mediated autophagy and promotes tau pathology propagation in mice
The tau protein has been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders and can propagate from cell to cell. Here, the authors show that tau acetylation reduces its degradation by chaperone-mediated autophagy, causing re-routing to other autophagic pathways ...

The Complex Role of Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy in Cancer Diseases
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a process that rapidly degrades proteins labeled with KFERQ-like motifs within cells via lysosomes to terminate their cellular functioning.

Modulation of deregulated chaperone-mediated autophagy by a phosphopeptide [PDF]
The P140 peptide, a 21-mer linear peptide (sequence 131–151) generated from the spliceosomal SNRNP70/U1–70K protein, contains a phosphoserine residue at position 140. It significantly ameliorates clinical manifestations in autoimmune patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and enhances survival in MRL/lpr lupus-prone mice.

Humanin is an endogenous activator of chaperone-mediated autophagy [PDF]
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) serves as quality control during stress conditions through selective degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes. Humanin (HN) is a mitochondria-associated peptide that offers cytoprotective, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective effects in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we demonstrate that HN directly activates

Age-related Decline in Chaperone-mediated Autophagy [PDF]
Intracellular protein degradation rates decrease with age in many tissues and organs. In cultured cells, chaperone-mediated autophagy, which is responsible for the selective degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes, decreases with age. In this work we use lysosomes isolated from rat liver to analyze age-related changes in the levels and ...

Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy in the Liver: Good or Bad?
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection triggers autophagy processes, which help clear out the dysfunctional viral and cellular components that would otherwise inhibit the virus replication. Increased cellular autophagy may kill the infected cell and terminate
