MTFP1 is a mitophagy receptor that operates in PINK1/PRKN-dependent mitophagy and promotes oral cancer cell survival

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2023
MTFP1 (mitochondrial fission process 1), an inner mitochondrial membrane protein, plays a crucial role in mitochondrial fission to maintain mitochondrial morphology.

Highly expressed SERCA2 triggers tumor cell autophagy and is a druggable vulnerability in triple-negative breast cancer

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2022
Chemoresistance remains a major obstacle to successful treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Identification of druggable vulnerabilities is an important aim for TNBC therapy.

Autophagy in Microglia and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by amyloid-beta plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and neuroinflammation. Autophagy has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases.

Mechanisms of selective autophagy and mitophagy: Implications for neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2019
Over the past 20 years, the concept of mammalian autophagy as a nonselective degradation system has been repudiated, due in part to important discoveries in neurodegenerative diseases, which opened the field of selective autophagy. Protein aggregates and

Regulation of Expression of Autophagy Genes by Atg8a-Interacting Partners Sequoia, YL-1, and Sir2 in Drosophila

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Autophagy is the degradation of cytoplasmic material through the lysosomal pathway. One of the most studied autophagy-related proteins is LC3.

Optineurin functions for optimal immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Optineurin (OPTN) was identified 20 years ago in a yeast-two-hybrid screen with a viral protein known to inhibit the cytolytic effects of tumor necrosis factor.

Host-pathogen interactions and subversion of autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Macroautophagy (“autophagy”), is the process by which cells can form a double membraned vesicle that encapsulates material to be degraded by the lysosome.

LIR motifs and the membrane-targeting domain are complementary in the function of RavZ

open access: yesBMB Reports, 2019
The bacterial effector protein RavZ is secreted by the intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila and inhibits host autophagy through an irreversible deconjugation of mammalian ATG8 (mATG8) proteins from autophagosome membranes. However, the roles of the LC3 interacting region (LIR) motifs in RavZ function remain unclear. In this study, we show that

Structure and Dynamics in the ATG8 Family From Experimental to Computational Techniques

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Autophagy is a conserved and essential intracellular mechanism for the removal of damaged components. Since autophagy deregulation is linked to different kinds of pathologies, it is fundamental to gain knowledge on the fine molecular and structural ...
