Atg43, a novel autophagy-related protein, serves as a mitophagy receptor to bridge mitochondria with phagophores in fission yeast

Tomoyuki Fukuda et al.

Summary: Mitophagy is a selective form of autophagy that degrades damaged or unnecessary mitochondria through double-membranous structures called phagophores. Atg43 has been identified as a mitophagy receptor in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, playing a role in stabilizing phagophore expansion on mitochondria by interacting with Atg8. This suggests that Atg43 may have acquired its mitophagic function through convergent evolution, as it shares no sequence similarity with mitophagy receptors in other organisms.

Beyond Autophagy: The Expanding Roles of ATG8 Proteins

Jose L. Nieto-Torres et al.

Summary: The ATG8 family proteins are key players in autophagy, participating in cargo recruitment, biogenesis, transport, and fusion with lysosomes. Recent studies have shown their involvement in diverse processes such as vesicle maturation and cargo specification, with complex regulatory mechanisms that are still not fully understood. Individual roles of different ATG8 family members in canonical or non-canonical pathways remain unclear. This review highlights the molecular questions surrounding ATG8s that are only beginning to be explored.

Ustilaginoidea virens modulates lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation in rice flowers during infection

Xiaoyang Chen et al.

Summary: The post-translational modification lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (K-hib) plays a significant role in gene transcription, metabolism, and enzymatic activity in rice. Despite having identified K-hib sites in rice, the K-hib status of proteins in rice flowers during infection with Ustilaginoidea virens remains unclear. Through quantitative proteomics, researchers identified K-hib-modified proteins in rice flowers, with levels of K-hib substantially reduced during U. virens infection. Additionally, histone K-hib was found to be involved in the expression of disease-resistance genes, with most quantified sites on core histones H3 downregulated upon infection.
