Autophagosome formation--the role of ULK1 and Beclin1-PI3KC3 complexes in setting the stage.

TLDR
How the mammalian ULK1 and Beclin1 complexes are controlled by post-translational modifications and protein-protein interactions is discussed and data linking these complexes together is highlighted.

Investigation of selected autophagic proteins and the effect of tPS1-GFP expression

TL;DR: The suggested interactions between truncated PS1 and mTOR, raptor and LC3 may dysregulate mTOR signalling pathway, prevent recruitment of mTOR substrates by raptor or block the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes via LC3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular aging: the mitochondrial influence

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed the evidence demonstrating the mitochondrial contribution to the cardiac aging process and disease susceptibility, and discussed the potential mechanisms responsible for the age-related decline in mitochondrial function.

mTOR Signaling in Growth Control and Disease

TL;DR: The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway senses and integrates a variety of environmental cues to regulate organismal growth and homeostasis as mentioned in this paper, and is implicated in an increasing number of pathological conditions, including cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegeneration.

Autophagy fights disease through cellular self-digestion

TL;DR: Understanding autophagy may ultimately allow scientists and clinicians to harness this process for the purpose of improving human health, and to play a role in cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

mTOR signaling in growth control and disease.

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the mTOR pathway are reviewed and pharmacological approaches to treat human pathologies linked to mTOR deregulation are discussed.

AMPK and mTOR regulate autophagy through direct phosphorylation of Ulk1

TL;DR: A molecular mechanism for regulation of the mammalian autophagy-initiating kinase Ulk1, a homologue of yeast ATG1, is demonstrated and a signalling mechanism for UlK1 regulation and autophagic induction in response to nutrient signalling is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TSC2 mediates cellular energy response to control cell growth and survival.

TL;DR: It is described that TSC2 is regulated by cellular energy levels and plays an essential role in the cellular energy response pathway and its phosphorylation by AMPK protect cells from energy deprivation-induced apoptosis.
