14-3-3 proteins: an important regulator of autophagy in diseases.

TLDR
The role of 14-3-3 proteins in the control of autophagy in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and other pathological conditions is summarized.
Abstract
Autophagy is a cell digestion process that determines cell fate by promoting cell survival or inducing cell death in a cell context-dependent manner. Several classical signaling pathways, such as phosphoinositide-3-kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin, tightly regulate autophagy. 14-3-3 proteins regulate various signaling pathways by phosphorylation-dependent binding with partner proteins. 14-3-3 proteins also regulate autophagy by binding with autophagy-related proteins such as Beclin-1 and hVPS34. This review summarizes the role of 14-3-3 proteins in the control of autophagy in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and other pathological conditions.

MTORC1 functions as a transcriptional regulator of autophagy by preventing nuclear transport of TFEB

TL;DR: It is shown that MTORC1 regulates nuclear localization and activity of the transcription factor EB (TFEB), a member of the bHLH leucine-zipper family of transcription factors that drives expression of autophagy and lysosomal genes.

Retinol-binding protein: the transport protein for vitamin A in human plasma

TL;DR: In plasma, RBP apparently circulates as a complex, together with another, larger protein with prealbumin mobility on electrophoresis, which appears to involve both a lipid-protein (retinol-RBP) interaction and a protein- protein (RBP-prealbumin) interaction.

Akt-Mediated Regulation of Autophagy and Tumorigenesis Through Beclin 1 Phosphorylation

TL;DR: It is shown that Beclin 1, an essential autophagy and tumor suppressor protein, is a target of the protein kinase Akt, and Akt-mediated phosphorylation of BeClin 1 functions in Autophagy inhibition, oncogenesis, and the formation of an autophile-inhibitory BeclIn 1/14-3-3/vimentin intermediate filament complex.
