Dimerization of mitophagy receptor BNIP3L/NIX is essential for recruitment of autophagic machinery
14 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Mitophagy is a conserved intracellular catabolic process responsible for the selective removal of dysfunctional or superfluous mitochondria to maintain mitochondrial quality and need in cells. Here, we examine the mechanisms of receptor-mediated mitophagy activation, with the focus on BNIP3L/NIX mitophagy receptor, proven to be indispensable for selective removal of mitochondria during the terminal...
