The Role of Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy in Hepatitis C Virus-Induced Pathogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Lysosome incorporate and degrade proteins in a process known as autophagy. There are three types of autophagy; macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA).

Piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus Genetic and morphological traits

open access: yes, 2009
Nucleus-vacuole (NV) junctions are formed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae through interactions between Vac8 in the vacuole membrane and Nvj1 in the perinuclear ER.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

The role of autophagy in spinal cord injury: Mechanisms, crosstalk, and therapeutic strategies

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research
Spinal cord injury is a neurological disorder resulting from trauma, typically affecting sensory and motor function at the injury site, even leading to paralysis and internal dysfunction.

The core autophagy machinery is not required for chloroplast singlet oxygen-mediated cell death in the Arabidopsis thaliana plastid ferrochelatase two mutant

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Chloroplasts respond to stress and changes in the environment by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have specific signaling abilities.

Evaluating the involvement of autolysosomes in the nuclear translocation of fluorescent proteins

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Endogenously expressed fluorescent proteins can be degraded by autophagy and transported to cell nuclei via the nuclear pore complex. But in some cell lines, for example, HeLa cells which are positive for immunoreactivity of a receptor ligand, such as UCN I, in cell nuclei, fusion of autolysosome with the nuclear envelope is involved in the nuclear ...

Type I interferons modulate autophagy to shape gemcitabine response in pancreatic cancer cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Type I interferons differentially modulate autophagy and the response of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine. IFNα2b stimulates autophagic flux and protects cells from gemcitabine‐induced cell death, contributing to chemoresistance. In contrast, IFNβ1a inhibits autophagosome formation and enhances gemcitabine‐induced cell death, resulting in ...

A genetic screen identifies new steps in oocyte maturation that enhance proteostasis in the immortal germ lineage

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Somatic cells age and die, but the germ-cell lineage is immortal. In Caenorhabditis elegans, germline immortality involves proteostasis renewal at the beginning of each new generation, when oocyte maturation signals from sperm trigger the clearance of ...

Chapter 11 Cell‐Free Reconstitution of Microautophagy in Yeast

open access: yes, 2008
Microautophagy is the direct uptake of soluble or particulate cellular constituents into lysosomes. Here, I describe methods to reconstitute and study this process in vitro, using vacuoles (lysosomes) from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as model ...

Deacetylation of ATG7 drives the induction of macroautophagy and LC3-associated microautophagy

open access: yes, 2023
LC3 lipidation plays an important role in the regulation of macroautophagy and LC3-associated microautophagy. The E1-like enzyme ATG7 is one of the core components that are directly involved in LC3 lipidation reaction.
