Autophagy regulates rRNA synthesis
Autophagy has emerged as a key regulator of cell metabolism. Recently, we have demonstrated that autophagy is involved in RNA metabolism by regulating ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis.

Nonhistone Lysine Methylation as a Protein Degradation Signal
Protein degradation is a fundamental feature of cellular life, and malfunction of this process is implicated in human disease. Ubiquitin tagging is the best characterized mechanism of targeting a protein for degradation; however, there are a growing ...

The versatile defender: exploring the multifaceted role of p62 in intracellular bacterial infection
As a highly conserved, multifunctional protein with multiple domains, p62/SQSTM1 plays a crucial role in several essential cellular activities, particularly selective autophagy.

Accumulation of Ubiquitin and Sequestosome-1 Implicate Protein Damage in Diacetyl-Induced Cytotoxicity [PDF]
Inhaled diacetyl vapors are associated with flavorings-related lung disease, a potentially fatal airway disease. The reactive α-dicarbonyl group in diacetyl causes protein damage in vitro. Dicarbonyl/l-xylulose reductase (DCXR) metabolizes diacetyl into acetoin, which lacks this α-dicarbonyl group.

Autophagy Flux Correlates with Upregulation of AKT-1 in RAS Mutated Colon Cancer Cells [PDF]
Background: The AKT/PKB (protein kinase B) kinase is the main regulator of autophagy in mammalian cells, which consists of three isoforms, including AKT-1, AKT-2, and AKT-3.

Essential Role of Sequestosome 1/p62 in Regulating Accumulation of Lys63-ubiquitinated Proteins [PDF]
Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1)/p62 is an interacting partner of the atypical protein kinase C zeta/iota and serves as a scaffold for cell signaling and ubiquitin binding, which is critical for several cell functions in vivo such as osteoclastogenesis, adipogenesis, and T cell activation.

Sequestosome 1/p62 Is a Polyubiquitin Chain Binding Protein Involved in Ubiquitin Proteasome Degradation [PDF]
Herein, we demonstrate that the ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain of sequestosome 1/p62 displays a preference for binding K63-polyubiquitinated substrates. Furthermore, the UBA domain of p62 was necessary for aggregate sequestration and cell survival.

New Insights Into the Role of Sequestosome 1/p62 Mutant Proteins in the Pathogenesis of Paget's Disease of Bone [PDF]
Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is characterized by focal areas of aberrant and excessive bone turnover, specifically increased bone resorption and disorganized bone formation. Germline mutations in the sequestosome 1/p62 (SQSTM1/p62) gene are common in PDB patients, with most mutations affecting the ubiquitin-associated domain of the protein.
