Journal ArticleDOI

The ULK1 complex mediates MTORC1 signaling to the autophagy initiation machinery via binding and phosphorylating ATG14

TL;DR: A key molecular event is defined for the starvation-induced activation of the ATG14-containing PtdIns3K complex by ULK1, and hierarchical relations between the ULK 1 activation and other autophagy proteins involved in phagophore formation are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

mTORC1 phosphorylates UVRAG to negatively regulate autophagosome and endosome maturation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mTORC1 engages in late stages of autophagy and endosome maturation, defining a broader range of m TORC1 functions in the membrane-associated processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

ULK1 inhibits the kinase activity of mTORC1 and cell proliferation.

TL;DR: It is found that ULK1 inhibits the kinase activity of mTORC1 and cell proliferation and is important to coordinately regulate cell growth and autophagy with optimized utilization of cellular energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

ULK1 phosphorylates Ser30 of BECN1 in association with ATG14 to stimulate autophagy induction.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BECN1 Ser30 is a ULK1 target site whose phosphorylation activates the ATG14-containing PIK3C3 complex and stimulates autophagosome formation in response to amino acid starvation, hypoxia, and MTORC1 inhibition.
