WIPI proteins: Biological functions and related syndromes
9 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
WIPI ( W D-repeat protein I nteracting with P hospho I nositides) are important effectors in autophagy. These proteins bind phosphoinositides and recruit autophagy proteins. In mammals, there are four WIPI proteins: WIPI1, WIPI2, WIPI3 (WDR45B), and WIPI4 (WDR45). These proteins consist of a seven-bladed β-propeller structure. Recently, pathogenic variants in genes encoding these proteins have been recognized to...
