ULK1 and ULK2 are less redundant than previously thought: Computational analysis uncovers distinct regulation and functions of these autophagy induction proteins
2020-02-27
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy, the degradation of cytoplasmic content by lysosomal fusion, is an evolutionary conserved process promoting homeostasis and intracellular defence. Macroautophagy is initiated primarily by a complex containing ULK1 or ULK2 (two paralogs of the yeast Atg1 protein). Deletion of ULK1 is sufficient to interrupt autophagy, while ULK2 seems expendable. To understand the differences between ULK1 and ULK2, w...
