Overview

Show »« Hide

Autophagy receptors are important for protein homeostasis, by regulating the clearance of protein aggregates, pathogens and the turnover of a wide range of cargo proteins, via the autophagosome-lysosome pathway, by ubiquitin-dependent and -independent mechanisms [3]. Their activity is modulated by protein modifications such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Some autophagy receptors have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases [2,10].

Comment

Sequestosome 1 (widely referred to as p62) is the most studied 'selective' autophagy receptor. It facilitates autophagy of certain protein aggregates (aggrephagy), pathogens (xenophagy) and enzymes (zymophagy). Kinases that phosphorylate sequestosome 1 include ULK1 [5], TBK1 [8],CK2 [6] and p38δ. It is ubiquitinated by the E3 ubiquitin transferase TRIM21 [2,7]. These protein modifications regulate sequestosome 1's activity and selectivity for cargo proteins. Genetic variants in SQSTM1 are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; NMD)/frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) [9,11] and Alzheimer's disease [1].
