Connexins : substrates and regulators of autophagy [PDF]
, 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.

War on Viruses: LC3 Recruits GTPases [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2017 Interferon effector functions and autophagy are evolutionarily conserved arms of cell-autonomous immunity that restrict replication of intracellular pathogens. In this issue of Cell Host and Microbe, Biering et al., (2017) demonstrate how host cells co-opt sequential action of autophagy proteins and IFN-inducible GTPases to inhibit replication of ...

DRAM-3 modulates autophagy and promotes cell survival in the absence of glucose [PDF]
, 2015 Macroautophagy is a membrane-trafficking process that delivers cytoplasmic constituents to lysosomes for degradation. The process operates under basal conditions as a mechanism to turnover damaged or misfolded proteins and organelles. As a result, it has

Niclosamide Triggers Non-Canonical LC3 Lipidation [PDF]
Cells, 2019 Autophagy is a highly- evolutionarily-conserved catabolic pathway activated by various cellular stresses. Recently, non-canonical autophagy (NCA), which does not require all of the ATG proteins to form autophagosome or autophagosome-like structures, has been found in various conditions.

Alpha-mangostin decreases high glucose-induced damage on human umbilical vein endothelial cells by increasing autophagic protein expression [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical SciencesObjective(s): Diabetes is a chronic disorder that occurs as a result of impaired glucose metabolism. In hyperglycaemic states, the balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes is disrupted leading to oxidative damage and cell death.

p62/SQSTM1 droplets initiate autophagosome biogenesis and oxidative stress control
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021 Selective autophagy contributes to the degradation of condensates, such as sequestosome 1-bodies, also called p62/SQSTM1-bodies. We showed that endogenous p62 forms gel-like structures, which serve as platforms for autophagosome formation and nuclear ...
