Abstract p62/SQSTM1 is an autophagy receptor and signaling adaptor with N-terminal PB1 domain that forms the scaffold of phase-separated p62 bodies in cell. The molecular determinants govern filament formation vitro remain to be determined role filaments inside cell currently unclear. We here determine four high-resolution cryo-EM structures different human Arabidopsis assemblies observed a filamentous ultrastructure using correlative cellular EM. show oligomerization or polymerization,...
The cysteine protease ATG4B cleaves off one or more C-terminal residues of the inactive proform proteins ortholog and paralog LC3 GABARAP subfamilies yeast Atg8 to expose a glycine that is conjugated phosphatidylethanolamine during autophagosome formation. We show contains LC3-interacting region (LIR) motif important for efficient binding cleavage proteins. solved crystal structures GABARAPL1-ATG4B LIR complex. Analyses in vitro assays, using specific point mutants, clearly showed binds via...
Mitophagy is the degradation of surplus or damaged mitochondria by autophagy. In addition to programmed and stress-induced mitophagy, basal mitophagy processes exert organelle quality control. Here, we show that sorting assembly machinery (SAM) complex protein SAMM50 interacts directly with ATG8 family proteins p62/SQSTM1 act as a receptor for components SAM mitochondrial contact site cristae organizing system (MICOS) complexes. regulates architecture controlling formation MICOS decisive...
The Golgi complex is essential for the processing, sorting, and trafficking of newly synthesized proteins lipids. turnover regulated to meet different cellular physiological demands. role autophagy in Golgi, however, has not been clarified. Here we show that CALCOCO1 binds Golgi-resident palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC17 facilitate degradation by during starvation. Depletion cells causes expansion accumulation its structural membrane proteins. itself degraded together with other such as TMEM165....
Human ATG8 family proteins (ATG8s) are active in all steps of the macroautophagy pathway, and their lipidation is essential for autophagosome formation. Lipidated ATG8s anchored to outer surface phagophore serve as scaffolds binding other core autophagy various effector involved trafficking or fusion events, whereas those at inner needed assembly selective substrates. Their scaffolding role depends on specific interactions between LC3-interacting region (LIR) docking site (LDS) LIR motifs...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells and plays critical roles diverse processes metabolism, signaling intracellular organization. In response to stress stimuli such as nutrient deprivation, accumulation of misfolded proteins or exposure chemicals, ER increases size through upregulated synthesis its components counteract stress. To restore physiological size, excess are continuously dismantled degraded by reticulophagy, a form autophagy...
Introduction: Dipylidium caninum (double-pored tapeworm) is a common tapeworm found in the small intestines of dogs, cats, foxes, and occasionally humans. It zoonotic parasite that causes dipylidiasis, commonly known as dog tapeworm, which acquired by ingesting infected fleas. The major goal this study to determine prevalence D. stray pet dogs Siddharthanagar municipality, along with its various risk factors (age, sex, breed, deworming status, flea infestation). Methods: This cross-sectional...
