The Sleeping Giant: Metabolism and Autophagy in the Generation and Survival of Dormant Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) arise in response to stress and play a critical role in therapy resistance and tumor dormancy. These cells can evade conventional treatments and later contribute to cancer relapse by generating progeny through nonmitotic, amitotic mechanisms.

Resveratrol-mediated autophagy requires WIPI-1-regulated LC3 lipidation in the absence of induced phagophore formation

open access: yes, 2011
Canonical autophagy is positively regulated by the Beclin 1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase class III (PtdIns3KC3) complex that generates an essential phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P), for the formation of autophagosomes ...

Ubiquitin Modification of SARS-CoV-2 Membrane Protein Promotes Virion Assembly and Budding via Autophagy

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2022
In our recent study, we reported the molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 assembly and budding. Envelope protein (E) and membrane protein (M) of SARS-CoV-2 form complexes that ensure the uniform size of viral particles for viral maturation and budding. The

Posttranslational Modifications of p62/SQSTM1 in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Schematic illustration of p62 as a posttranslational modifications (PTMs)‐programmed integrator in homeostasis, pathogenesis, and therapeutic targeting. (Left) Homeostasis: In physiological states, p62, through various PTMs such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation, coordinates essential cellular functions.

The Atg1–kinase complex tethers Atg9-vesicles to initiate autophagy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Autophagosome biogenesis is initiated by recruitment of Atg9-vesicles to the phagophore assembly site. Here Rao et al. use a reconstituted in vitrosystem to describe the mechanism by which activation of the Atg1-kinase complex from its constituent parts ...

Aging of Skeletal Muscle: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Skeletal muscle aging is driven by coordinated local breakdown across myofibers, stem and stromal cells, immune and vascular compartments, and neuromuscular control. These mechanisms promote mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, senescence, impaired regeneration, fibrosis, myosteatosis, denervation, and functional decline.

Elucidating Phagophore Nucleation in the Autophagy Pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yes, 2023
This dissertation focuses on a ubiquitous intracellular degradation pathway, macroautophagy/autophagy. More specifically, I detail my contribution to the understanding of Atg9 trafficking in yeast, where the essential autophagy protein, Atg9, is ...

In vitro and in vivo reconstitution systems reveal the membrane remodeling ability of LC3B and ATG16L1 to form phagophore-like membrane cups

open access: yesAutophagy
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved pathway allowing the cell to clear and recycle unwanted materials. While decades of research have revealed molecular players and their hierarchical relationships in autophagy, the detailed mechanism by which these ...

Synaptic Proteostasis in Health and Disease

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 10, October 2026.
The localised creation and degradation of proteins at the pre and postsynaptic terminal are processes that are crucial for neuronal homeostasis. Synaptic proteostasis pathways are frequently reported as dysregulated in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.

Additional examples of mitophagy intermediates from EM analysis of Vps13D depleted neurons.

open access: yes, 2021
A) Two examples of larval neurons expressing Vps13D-RNAi which contain mitochondria engaged with a phagophore. In the lower magnification images on the left side, mitochondria (M) that are not engaged with a phagophore have compact and electron dense ...
