REEP1 contributes to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) shaping. Variants either cause cortical motoneuron degeneration and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) or spinal motoneuron degeneration and distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN). Knockout causes less complex ER structures and cortical motoneuron loss.

The mechanisms to dispose of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum of adipocytes
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER-phagy are two principal degradative mechanisms for ER proteins and aggregates, respectively; however, the crosstalk between these two pathways under physiological settings remains unexplored.

FIP200 Claw Domain Binding to p62 Promotes Autophagosome Formation at Ubiquitin Condensates [PDF]
The autophagy cargo receptor p62 facilitates the condensation of misfolded, ubiquitin-positive proteins and their degradation by autophagy, but the molecular mechanism of p62 signaling to the core autophagy machinery is unclear.

MiT/TFE factors control ER-phagy via transcriptional regulation of FAM134B [PDF]
Lysosomal degradation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via autophagy (ER-phagy) is emerging as a critical regulator of cell homeostasis and function. The recent identification ofER-phagy receptors has shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlining ...

Mitochondria‐Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membranes as Potential Therapeutic Targets in Epilepsy
MAMs are involved in the occurrence and development of epilepsy through calcium ion homeostasis imbalance, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation, abnormal lipid metabolism, as well as autophagy and mitochondrial autophagy. This picture was drawn using Figdraw.

Msn2/4 transcription factors positively regulate expression of Atg39 ER-phagy receptor
Selective autophagy requires the autophagy receptor specifically localizing to the target for degradation. In the budding yeast, Atg39 and Atg40 function as an autophagy receptor for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-selective autophagy, referred to as ER ...

Lipid‐rich and hypoxia tumor microenvironment elevates O‐GlcNAc transferase (OGT) expression, catalyzing O‐GlcNAcylation of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) which in turn negatively regulates PTEN to promotes the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

ER-Phagie und Neurodegeneration
Abstract Autophagy is a process to target substrates for lysosomal degradation, which starts with the enclosure of the substrate by the LC3-labelled isolation membrane and the subsequent fusion with lysosomes. Selectivity of this process can be achieved via autophagy receptors. In recent years, several receptors which target ER subdomains for

Endoplasmic Reticulum Area Expands Upon Onset of the Unfolded Protein Response [PDF]
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a dynamic organelle responsible for essential cell functions such as protein folding, calcium storage, and lipid synthesis. It also directly interacts with and regulates other organelles in the cell, such as endosomes or

Physiological response of Pichia pastoris GS115 to methanol-induced high level production of the Hepatitis B surface antigen: Catabolic adaptation, stress responses, and autophagic processes [PDF]
Background: Pichia pastoris is an established eukaryotic host for the production of recombinant proteins. Most often, protein production is under the control of the strong methanol-inducible aox1 promoter.
