Abstract excerpt
Reduced levels of autophagy correlate with tumorigenesis, and several inducers of autophagy have been found to be tumor suppressors. One such autophagic inducer is the Beclin 1 binding protein UVRAG, a positive regulator of the class III PI3K/Vps34 complex. UVRAG has been implicated in the formation and maturation of autophagosomes, as well as in endocytic trafficking and suppression of proliferation and in vivo...
