The Pro-apoptotic STK38 Kinase Is a New Beclin1 Partner Positively Regulating Autophagy
Autophagy plays key roles in development, oncogenesis, cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, understanding how autophagy is regulated can reveal opportunities to modify autophagy in a disease-relevant manner. Ideally, one would want to functionally define autophagy regulators whose enzymatic activity can potentially be modulated. Here, we describe the STK38 protein k...
متن کاملIdentification of ROCK1 kinase as a critical regulator of Beclin1 mediated autophagy during metabolic stress
The Ser/Thr Rho kinase 1 (ROCK1) is known to have major roles in a wide range of cellular activities, including those involved in tumour metastasis and apoptosis. Here we identify an indispensable function of ROCK1 in metabolic stress-induced autophagy. Applying a proteomics approach, we characterize Beclin1, a proximal component of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase class III lipid-kinase complex t...
متن کاملTAB3, a new binding partner of the protein kinase TAK1.
We have identified a new binding partner of the TGFbeta (transforming growth factor-beta)-activated protein kinase (TAK1), termed TAB3 (TAK1-binding protein-3), which shares 48% amino acid sequence identity with TAB2. Our results indicate that two distinct TAK1 complexes are present in cells. One comprises TAK1 complexed with TAB1 and TAB2, and the other TAK1 complexed with TAB1 and TAB3. Both ...
متن کاملMicroRNA‐30a ameliorates hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting Beclin1‐mediated autophagy
We explored the role of microRNA-30a (miR-30a) and the mechanism involved in hepatic fibrosis. MiR-30a overexpression was achieved by miR-30a mimics transfection in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) (HSC-T6, LX-2), and miR-30a agomir (ago-miR-30a) treatment in mice. MiR-30a levels were measured using TaqMan miRNA assay system, and the localization of miR-30a was detected by fluorescence in situ hyb...
متن کاملThe pro-apoptotic function of death-associated protein kinase is controlled by a unique inhibitory autophosphorylation-based mechanism.
Death-associated protein kinase is a calcium/calmodulin serine/threonine kinase, which positively mediates programmed cell death in a variety of systems. Here we addressed its mode of regulation and identified a mechanism that restrains its apoptotic function in growing cells and enables its activation during cell death. It involves autophosphorylation of Ser(308) within the calmodulin (CaM)-re...
