A guide to the regulation of selective autophagy receptors
Selective autophagy receptors are essential for bridging the cellular cargo destined for degradation with autophagy machinery. As such, their role in autophagy is strictly regulated. In this review, we outline and discuss post‐translational (phosphorylation, ubiquitination, acetylation) and structural (oligomerisation) modifications involved in ...

In this short review, we focus on the mechanism of "selective" autophagy, which is rapidly being elucidated. Abstract While starvation‐induced autophagy is thought to randomly degrade cellular components, under certain circumstances autophagy selectively recognizes, sequesters, and degrades specific targets via autophagosomes.

A Decade of Mighty Lipophagy: What We Know and What Facts We Need to Know?
Lipids are integral cellular components that act as substrates for energy provision, signaling molecules, and essential constituents of biological membranes along with a variety of other biological functions. Despite their significance, lipid accumulation may result in lipotoxicity, impair autophagy, and lysosomal function that may lead to certain ...

Lafora disease offers a unique window into neuronal glycogen metabolism [PDF]
Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal, autosomal recessive, glycogen-storage disorder that manifests as severe epilepsy. LD results from mutations in the gene encoding either the glycogen phosphatase laforin or the E3 ubiquitin ligase malin. Individuals with LD

HOIL-1 ubiquitin ligase activity targets unbranched glucosaccharides and is required to prevent polyglucosan accumulation [PDF]
HOIL‐1, a component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), ubiquitylates serine and threonine residues in proteins by esterification. Here, we report that mice expressing an E3 ligase‐inactive HOIL‐1[C458S] mutant accumulate polyglucosan

Role of Autophagy in Glycogen Breakdown and Its Relevance to Chloroquine Myopathy [PDF]
Several myopathies are associated with defects in autophagic and lysosomal degradation of glycogen, but it remains unclear how glycogen is targeted to the lysosome and what significance this process has for muscle cells.

WDFY3 mutation alters laminar position and morphology of cortical neurons [PDF]
Background: Proper cerebral cortical development depends on the tightly orchestrated migration of newly born neurons from the inner ventricular and subventricular zones to the outer cortical plate.

Murine obscurin and Obsl1 have functionally redundant roles in sarcolemmal integrity, sarcoplasmic reticulum organization, and muscle metabolism. [PDF]
Biological roles of obscurin and its close homolog Obsl1 (obscurin-like 1) have been enigmatic. While obscurin is highly expressed in striated muscles, Obsl1 is found ubiquitously.

Glycogen Dynamics Drives Lipid Droplet Biogenesis during Brown Adipocyte Differentiation
Summary: Browning induction or transplantation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) or brown/beige adipocytes derived from progenitor or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can represent a powerful strategy to treat metabolic diseases.

Glycogen and its metabolism: some new developments and old themes [PDF]
Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose that acts as a store of energy in times of nutritional sufficiency for utilization in times of need. Its metabolism has been the subject of extensive investigation and much is known about its regulation by ...
