Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy promotes primary ciliogenesis by removing OFD1 from centriolar satellites

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that autophagic degradation of a ciliopathy protein, OFD1 (oral-facial-digital syndrome 1), at centriolar satellites promotes primary cilium biogenesis, defining a newly recognized role of autophagy in organelle biogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Keap1 facilitates p62-mediated ubiquitin aggregate clearance via autophagy

TL;DR: Keap1 is assigned a novel positive role in upregulating p62-mediated autophagic clearance of ubiquitin aggregates, and p62 serves as a bridge between Keap1 and ubiquit in aggregates and autophagosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-eating to remove cilia roadblock

TL;DR: It is found that the autophagosome membrane anchored protein LC3 interacts with OFD1 (oral-facial-digital syndrome 1) and removes it from the centriolar satellite upon serum starvation to initiate primary cilium biogenesis, suggesting an unexpected link among autophagy, ciliogenesis, cilopathy, and cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

STING controls energy stress-induced autophagy and energy metabolism via STX17

TL;DR: A heretofore unexpected function of STING is demonstrated in energy stress-induced autophagy through spatial regulation of autophagic SNARE STX17, a SNARE that is essential for autophagosome biogenesis and autophosome-lysosome fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell cycle arrest induced by trichoplein depletion is independent of cilia assembly

TL;DR: It is shown that deletion of TCHP not only prevented the progression to the S phase but also resulted in cell cycle exit and entrance into G0 phase, and this study provides new insights into the function of T CHP incell cycle progression.
