Role of p62/SQSTM1 in liver physiology and pathogenesis [PDF]
p62/sequestosome-1/A170/ZIP (hereafter referred to as p62) is a scaffold protein that has multiple functions, such as signal transduction, cell proliferation, cell survival, cell death, inflammation, tumourigenesis and oxidative stress response. While p62 is an autophagy substrate and is degraded by autophagy, p62 serves as an autophagy receptor for ...

ZZ-dependent regulation of p62/SQSTM1 in autophagy [PDF]
AbstractAutophagic receptor p62 is a critical mediator of cell detoxification, stress response, and metabolic programs and is commonly deregulated in human diseases. The diverse functions of p62 arise from its ability to interact with a large set of ligands, such as arginylated (Nt-R) substrates. Here, we describe the structural mechanism for selective

Identification and functional analysis of Joka2, a tobacco member of the family of selective autophagy cargo receptors [PDF]
Two main mechanisms of protein turnover exist in eukaryotic cells: the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagylysosomal pathway. Autophagy is an emerging important constituent of many physiological and pathological processes, such as response to ...

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. The microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B (MAP1LC3B) and adaptor sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) are two major markers for autophagy.

Selective turnover of p62/A170/SQSTM1 by autophagy [PDF]
Loss of autophagy causes liver injury, cardiomyopathy and neurodegeneration, associated with the formation of ubiquitin-positive inclusion bodies. However, the pathogenic mechanism and molecular machinery involved in inclusion formation are not fully understood. We recently identified a ubiquitin-binding protein, p62/A170/SQSTM1, as a molecule involved

Loss of SQSTM1/p62 Induces Obesity and Exacerbates Alcohol-Induced Liver Injury in Aged MiceSummary
Background: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a worldwide health problem, of which the effective treatment is still lacking. Both detrimental and protective roles of adipose tissue have been implicated in ALD.

SQSTM1/p62: A Potential Target for Neurodegenerative Disease [PDF]
Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by a progressive loss of brain function, affect the lives of millions of individuals worldwide. The complexity of the brain poses a challenge for scientists trying to map the biochemical and physiological pathways to identify areas of pathological errors.

Protocol for stage 2 of the GaP study (genetic testing acceptability for Paget's disease of the bone) : a questionnaire study to investigate whether relatives of people with Paget's disease would accept genetic testing and preventative treatment if they were available [PDF]
Background: Paget's disease of bone (PDB) disrupts normal bone architecture and causes pain, deformity, deafness, osteoarthritis, and fractures. Genetic factors play a role in PDB and genetic tests are now conducted for research purposes.
