The role of selenium on autophagy
Selenium (Se) deficiency is associated with certain abnormalities, such as Keshan disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), viral infections, infertility, immune system abnormalities, metabolic diseases, neurological disorders, and growth ...

Investigating the regulation of WIPI2b function at the phagophore by phosphorylation in starvation-induced autophagy [PDF]
Macroautophagy, here referred to as autophagy, is an intracellular degradation pathway cells use to maintain their homeostasis. Autophagy is also required for cell survival during nutrient deprivation, as well as development and immunity in higher ...

There are two types of autophagy, non-selective (bulk) autophagy, in which substrates are randomly incorporated into autophagosomes, and selective autophagy, in which substrates are specifically targeted.

Three-step docking by WIPI2, ATG16L1 and ATG3 delivers LC3 to the phagophore
The covalent attachment of ubiquitin-like LC3 proteins prepares the autophagic membrane for cargo recruitment. We resolve key steps in LC3 lipidation by combining molecular dynamics simulations and experiments in vitro and in cellulo.

Recent Advances in Membrane Shaping for Plant Autophagosome Biogenesis
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process, which is highly conserved in eukaryotes. During this process, unwanted cytosolic constituents are sequestered and delivered into the vacuole/lysosome by a double-membrane organelle known as an ...

Ultrastructural relationship of the phagophore with surrounding organelles
Phagophore nucleates from a subdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) termed the omegasome and also makes contact with other organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi complex, plasma membrane and recycling endosomes during its formation.

Atg21 restricts Atg8 lipidation to a novel vacuole-phagophore contact site [PDF]
Macroautophagy is a degradative membrane trafficking pathway that removes and recycles cellular components to maintain cellular homeostasis. Targets for degradation are a variety of cytosolic components including protein aggregates, damaged or ...

The Rod-Shaped ATG2A-WIPI4 Complex Tethers Membranes In Vitro
The autophagosome precursor membrane, termed the isolation membrane or phagophore , emerges adjacent to a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P)-enriched transient subdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum called the omegasome , thereafter expanding to ...
