Autophagy is an intracellular degradation pathway whose levels are tightly controlled to secure cell homeostasis. Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) a conserved serine-threonine that plays central role in the initiation of autophagy. Here, we report upon autophagy progression, ULK1 protein specifically down-regulated by E3 ligase NEDD4L, which ubiquitylates for proteasome. However, whereas degraded, mRNA actively transcribed. Upon reactivation mTOR-dependent synthesis, basal promptly restored, but...

Abstract Background The recent pandemic outbursts, due to SARS-CoV-2, have highlighted once more the central role of inflammatory process in propagation viral infection. main consequence COVID-19 is induction a diffuse pro-inflammatory state, also defined as cytokine storm, which affects different organs, but mostly lungs. We aimed prove efficacy cinnamaldehyde, active compound cinnamon, an anti-inflammatory compound, able reduce SARS-CoV-2 induced storm. Results enrolled 53 patients...
Autophagy is a highly conserved process that acts sequestering cytoplasmic components for their degradation by the lysosomes. It consists of several sequential steps have to be finely regulated ensure both its progression and termination. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play an important role in regulating ATG proteins function different stages autophagy. Recently, we demonstrated that, during prolonged starvation, ULK1 protein specifically ubiquitylated NEDD4L, this regulation...
Abstract Introduction: The recent pandemic outbursts, due to SARS-CoV-2, has highlighted once more the central role of inflammatory process in propagation viral infection. In fact, main consequence COVID-19 is induction a diffuse pro-inflammatory state, also defined as cytokine storm, that affects different organs, but mostly lungs. Therefore, despite progress vaccination campaign, high mutability this virus requires effective pharmaceutical approaches aimed reduce spread. Methods effect...
