LC3 and STRAP regulate actin filament assembly by JMY during autophagosome formation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
During autophagy, actin filament networks move and remodel cellular membranes to form autophagosomes that enclose and metabolize cytoplasmic contents. Two actin regulators, WHAMM and JMY, participate in autophagosome formation, but the signals linking ...

The phagophore in four dimensions—a study in wood [PDF]

open access: yesAutophagy, 2018
One of the key features of macroautophagy/autophagy is the dynamic nature of the membrane rearrangements that take place during expansion of the phagophore, the sequestering compartment that matures into an autophagosome. There are various ways to depict this process, but in most cases the method ultimately relies on a two-dimensional medium.

Myosins, Actin and Autophagy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Myosin motor proteins working together with the actin cytoskeleton drive a wide range of cellular processes. In this review, we focus on their roles in autophagy - the pathway the cell uses to ensure homeostasis by targeting pathogens, misfolded proteins

Defining the membrane precursor supporting the nucleation of the phagophore [PDF]

open access: yesAutophagy, 2013
How does the phagophore form? Which membrane acts as a platform for its biogenesis? Over the years, extensive use of microscopy techniques have led to the controversial identification of multiple potential membranes as precursors for phagophore nucleation and/or for the supply of lipids to the expanding compartment.

The Rod-Shaped ATG2A-WIPI4 Complex Tethers Membranes In Vitro

open access: yesContact, 2018
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 ...

The multifunctional autophagy pathway in the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Autophagy is a catabolic pathway typically induced by nutrient starvation to recycle amino acids, but can also function in removing damaged organelles. In addition, this pathway plays a key role in eukaryotic development. To date, not much is known about

Assays to Monitor Autophagy Progression in Cell Cultures

open access: yesCells, 2017
The vast number of implications of autophagy in multiple areas of life sciences and medicine has attracted the interest of numerous scientists that aim to unveil the role of this process in specific physiological and pathological contexts.

C9orf72 plays a central role in Rab GTPase-dependent regulation of autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the first intron of the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic defect associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (C9ALS/FTD).

Caspase involvement in autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases widely known as the principal mediators of the apoptotic cell death response, but considerably less so as the contributors to the regulation of pathways outside cellular demise.

ATG5 is essential for ATG8-dependent autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis in Leishmania major [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Macroautophagy has been shown to be important for the cellular remodelling required for Leishmania differentiation. We now demonstrate that L. major contains a functional ATG12-ATG5 conjugation system, which is required for ATG8-dependent autophagosome ...
