Abstract excerpt
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective mechanism for the degradation of soluble cytosolic proteins in lysosomes. The limiting step of this type of autophagy is the binding of substrates to the lysosome-associated membrane protein type 2A (LAMP-2A). In this work, we identify a dynamic s...
