Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy-related protein 32 acts as autophagic degron and directly initiates mitophagy.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Atg32 IMS domain is dispensable for mitophagy, and it is demonstrated that atg32 forms a complex with Atg8 and Atg11 prior to and independent of isolation membrane generation and subsequent autophagosome formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy-related Protein 8 (Atg8) Family Interacting Motif in Atg3 Mediates the Atg3-Atg8 Interaction and Is Crucial for the Cytoplasm-to-Vacuole Targeting Pathway

TL;DR: It is shown that Atg3 directly interacts with Atg8 through the WEDL sequence, which is distinct from canonical interaction between E2 and ubiquitin-like modifiers, and is a canonical AIM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hrr25 triggers selective autophagy–related pathways by phosphorylating receptor proteins

TL;DR: The budding yeast kinase Hrr25 regulates two selective autophagy–related pathways by phosphorylating degradation target receptors and thereby promoting their interaction with Atg11 and the formation of autophagosomal membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Autophagy-related Protein Kinase Atg1 Interacts with the Ubiquitin-like Protein Atg8 via the Atg8 Family Interacting Motif to Facilitate Autophagosome Formation

TL;DR: It is proposed that in addition to its essential function in the initial stage, Atg1 also associates with the isolation membrane to promote its maturation into the autophagosome, distinct from its role for triggering the process.

Autophagy-related protein 32 as autophagic degron and directly initiates mitophagy. ; Autophagy-related Protein 32 Acts as Autophagic Degron and Directly Initiates Mitophagy

TL;DR: The Atg32 IMS domain is dispensable for mitophagy in yeast as discussed by the authors, and it is shown that Atg8 and Atg11 are not necessary and sufficient for initiation of autophagosome formation.
