The role of FYCO1-dependent autophagy in lens fiber cell differentiation
28 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
FYCO1 (FYVE and coiled-coil domain containing 1) is an adaptor protein, expressed ubiquitously and required for microtubule-dependent, plus-end-directed transport of macroautophagic/autophagic vesicles. We have previously shown that loss-of-function mutations in FYCO1 cause cataracts with no other ocular and/or extra-ocular phenotype. Here, we show fyco1 homozygous knockout (fyco1−/−) mice recapitulate the...
