Journal ArticleDOI

ATG16 mediates the autophagic degradation of the 19S proteasomal subunits PSMD1 and PSMD2.

TL;DR: It is proposed that ATG16 links autophagy and the ubiquitin proteasome system, a core autophagosomal protein that is required for their enrichment in ATG8a positive puncta, which mature into autolysosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The two Dictyostelium discoideum autophagy 8 proteins have distinct autophagic functions

TL;DR: The data show that ATG8a and ATG7b have distinct functions and are involved in canonical as well as non-canonical autophagy, showing that both proteins function in parallel during most analysed cellular processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

CDK5RAP2 interaction with components of the Hippo signaling pathway may play a role in primary microcephaly

TL;DR: It is proposed that the centrosomal deficiencies and the altered cellular properties in the patient fibroblasts can also result from the observed changes in the Hippo pathway components which could thus be relevant for MCPH and play a role in brain size regulation and development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Characterisation of the Autophagy ATG12~5/16 Complex in Dictyostelium discoideum.

TL;DR: The results confirm the essential function of the ATG12~5/16 complex in canonical autophagy, and furthermore are consistent with autophophagy-independent functions of the complex and its individual components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Characterization of Ubiquitin-Like Core Autophagy Protein ATG12 in Dictyostelium discoideum

TL;DR: It is shown that ATG12 and ATG16 fulfil autophagy-independent functions in addition to their role in canonical Autophagy, indicating that both proteins also have cellular functions independent of each other.
