Structure and activation of the human autophagy-initiating ULK1C:PI3KC3-C1 supercomplex
Authors determine cryo-EM structure of human ULK1C core and its complex with PI3KC3-C1. ULK1C core undergoes a rearrangement from 2:1:1 to 2:2:2 stoichiometry, suggesting a structural mechanism for autophagy initiation.
The human autophagy-initiating complexes ULK1C and PI3KC3-C1
ULK1C and PI3KC3-C1 are crucial for macroautophagy initiation. Recent research focuses on their structural organization, activation mechanisms, and roles in autophagy initiation's protein interaction network for potential therapeutic targeting.
How Membrane Contact Sites Shape the Phagophore
Phagophores form membrane contact sites with organelles like the vacuole, ER, and lipid droplets. In situ imaging techniques, such as cryo-CLEM, provide valuable insights into these interactions, aiding in understanding autophagosome biogenesis.
