Hva22, a REEP family protein in fission yeast, promotes reticulophagy in collaboration with a receptor protein

Tomoyuki Fukuda et al.

Summary: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) undergoes selective autophagy called reticulophagy or ER-phagy. Reticulon- and receptor expression enhancing protein (REEP)-like ER-shaping proteins, such as budding yeast Atg40, act as reticulophagy receptors to stabilize the phagophore on the ER by interacting with phagophore-conjugated Atg8. Hva22, a REEP family protein in fission yeast, promotes reticulophagy without Atg8-binding capacity and its role can be replaced by expressing Atg40 independently of its Atg8-binding ability.

Ubiquitination regulates ER-phagy and remodelling of endoplasmic reticulum

Alexis Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can be remodeled through a selective autophagy pathway called ER-phagy. This study identified that ubiquitination of the ER-phagy receptor FAM134B promotes receptor clustering and binding to LC3B, stimulating ER-phagy. The results reveal the importance of ubiquitination in enhancing ER-phagy and controlling ER remodeling.

Heteromeric clusters of ubiquitinated ER-shaping proteins drive ER-phagy

Hector Foronda et al.

Summary: Membrane-shaping proteins containing reticulon homology domains are crucial for dynamic remodelling of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). FAM134B is an example of such a protein, which mediates the degradation of ER sheets through a process called selective autophagy (ER-phagy) by binding to LC3 proteins. Mutations in FAM134B result in a neurodegenerative disorder in humans.

A conserved membrane curvature-generating protein is crucial for autophagosome formation in fission yeast

Ning Wang et al.

Summary: Rop1 is the only member of a subfamily of membrane-curvature generating REEPs in fission yeast. Wang et al. demonstrate that Rop1 is crucial for macroautophagy by facilitating autophagosome formation. Rop1 functions in the generation of high membrane curvature and colocalizes with the autophagy component Atg2 at the phagophore rim.

Atg39 links and deforms the outer and inner nuclear membranes in selective autophagy of the nucleus

Keisuke Mochida et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers uncovered the mechanism of action of the nucleophagy receptor Atg39 in the formation of NDVs. Atg39 is anchored to the outer nuclear membrane via its transmembrane domain and is also associated with the inner nuclear membrane through membrane-binding amphipathic helices, linking these membranes together. Additionally, the aggregation of Atg39 causes the nuclear envelope to protrude and pinch off to generate NDVs.

ER-phagy requires the assembly of actin at sites of contact between the cortical and endocytic pits

Dongmei Liu et al.

Summary: This study discovered a process called ER-phagy, which selectively delivers fragments of the endoplasmic reticulum to the lysosome or vacuole in response to starvation or the accumulation of misfolded proteins. The loss of specific genes and proteins blocks the association between the autophagy receptor and the assembly scaffold protein, and a membrane contact site module is also found to be involved in ER-phagy.

Phosphorylation by casein kinase 2 enhances the interaction between ER-phagy receptor TEX264 and ATG8 proteins

Haruka Chino et al.

Summary: This study reveals the critical role of LIR phosphorylation in the interaction, localization, and initiation of autophagy of the ER-phagy receptor TEX264 with ATG8. Structural analysis shows that phosphorylation increases binding affinity by generating multiple hydrogen bonds with ATG8, which cannot be mimicked by acidic residues. This finding highlights the importance of LIR phosphorylation in LIR-ATG8 interactions.

ER-phagy: selective autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum

Keisuke Mochida et al.

Summary: Autophagy is a degradation system in eukaryotic cells that controls the mass and functions of organelles by degrading excess or defective portions. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle with specific functions that dynamically changes its mass and shape to maintain or regulate its functions. Elaborate mechanisms are required for the proper degradation of the ER.

Evolution of factors shaping the endoplasmic reticulum

Aspasia Kontou et al.

Summary: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest intracellular organelle and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and cellular function. Through comparative genomics analysis, it has been found that many proteins involved in maintaining ER structure are highly conserved and have an origin predating the last eukaryotic common ancestor. However, there are also lineage-specific innovations and alternative strategies for ER maintenance and elaboration in modern eukaryotes.

Summary: Genes involved in biological pathways are often found in gene clusters, and comparing these clusters can provide valuable insights into their function and evolutionary history. To simplify the tedious process of comparing and visualizing gene cluster similarity, a Python tool called clinker and a companion JavaScript library called clustermap.js have been developed to automatically generate accurate, interactive, publication-quality gene cluster comparison figures from sequence files.

Mechanism of membrane-curvature generation by ER-tubule shaping proteins

Ning Wang et al.

Summary: The endoplasmic reticulum network consists of tubules with high membrane curvature in cross-section, generated by the reticulons and REEPs, but how they introduce curvature is poorly understood. Here authors show that REEPs form homodimers and use their amphipathic helix and trans-membrane segments to introduce high membrane curvature that can even lead to the formation of lipoprotein particles.

Atg39 selectively captures inner nuclear membrane into lumenal vesicles for delivery to the autophagosome

Sunandini Chandra et al.

Summary: The research identified Atg39 as an important protein in delivering INM components to the autophagosome, located on the outer nuclear membrane. The lumenal domain of Atg39 is crucial for the autophagy-mediated degradation of INM proteins. Observations from correlative light and electron microscopy show that overexpression of Atg39 leads to expansion of the ONM and enclosure of INM-derived vesicles in the nuclear envelope lumen.

ER-phagy responses in yeast, plants, and mammalian cells and their crosstalk with UPR and ERAD

Maurizio Molinari

Summary: ER-phagy is a process of clearing ER portions through a set of regulatory proteins called ER-phagy receptors, promoting ER fragmentation and lysosomal clearance. ER-phagy responses ensure the clearance of unnecessary, nonfunctional, or abnormal ER portions in cooperation with unfolded protein responses (UPRs) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) to maintain ER function and homeostasis.

RTN4B interacting protein FAM134C promotes ER membrane curvature and has a functional role in autophagy

Darshan Kumar et al.

Summary: In this study, FAM134C was identified as a interacting protein with RTN4B in mammalian, nonneuronal cells, playing a role in promoting ER tubulation and impacting the autophagy pathway. Overexpression of FAM134C induces the formation of unbranched long tubules or dense globular structures, affecting the size and number of autophagic structures under starvation conditions. Dominant-negative expression of FAM134C forms with mutated RHD or LC3 interacting region also leads to a reduced number of autophagic structures.

Atg39 selectively captures inner nuclear membrane into lumenal vesicles for delivery to the autophagosome

Sunandini Chandra et al.

Summary: Atg39, a transmembrane protein localized in the nuclear envelope, plays a crucial role in selecting components of the inner nuclear membrane for turnover by the cytosolic autophagy apparatus. Sequence motifs within the lumenal domain of Atg39 are essential for membrane localization and remodeling activities, facilitating the degradation of integral INM proteins through autophagy. Overexpression of Atg39 leads to the expansion of the outer nuclear membrane and enclosure of a network of INM-derived vesicles in the nuclear envelope lumen, proposing an outside-in model of nucleophagy.
