Proteotoxic Stress Induces Phosphorylation of p62/SQSTM1 by ULK1 to Regulate Selective Autophagic Clearance of Protein Aggregates

TL;DR: Proteotoxic stress imposed by the proteasome inhibition or expression of polyglutamine expanded huntingtin induces p62 phosphorylation at its ubiquitin-association (UBA) domain that regulates its binding to ubiquitinated proteins, suggesting a potential novel drug target for the treatment of proteinopathies including Huntington's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of TFEB acetylation in control of its transcriptional activity and lysosomal function in response to histone deacetylase inhibitors.

TL;DR: TFEB acetylation was functionally implicated in SAHA-mediated autophagy and cell death in cancer cells, and was demonstrated to be a novel form of posttranslational modifications in TFEB that plays an important role in determining its transcriptional activity, lysosomal function and Autophagy incancer cells.

Hydrocarbon-stapled polypeptides for enhancement of endosome-lysosomal degradation

TL;DR: In this paper, a Beclin 1-UVRAG complex structure was revealed, which reveals a tightly packed coiled coil assembly with BeclIN 1 and UVRAG residues complementing each other to form a stable dimeric complex.
