Regulation of SQSTM1/p62 via UBA domain ubiquitination and its role in disease.
Autophagy - 2 Sept 2017
Lee YouJin, Weihl Conrad C
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy/autophagy can be a selective degradative process via the utilization of various autophagic receptor proteins. Autophagic receptors selectively recognize ubiquitinated cargoes and deliver them to phagophores, the precursors to autophagosomes, for their degradation. For example, SQSTM1/p62 directly binds to ubiquitinated protein aggregates via its UBA domain and sequesters them into inclusion bodies...
