Control of mitophagy initiation and progression by the TBK1 adaptors NAP1 and SINTBAD

E. Adriaenssens, T. N. Nguyen, J. Sawa-Makarska, G. Khuu, M. Schuschnig, S. Shoebridge, E. M. Watts, K. D. Csalyi, B. S. Padman, M. Lazarou, S. Martens

This study identifies NAP1 and SINTBAD as regulators of mitophagy, inhibiting OPTN-driven initiation while promoting NDP52-driven progression.

Unconventional Initiation of PINK1/Parkin Mitophagy by Optineurin

T. N. Nguyen, J. Sawa-makarska, G. Khuu, W. K. Lam, E. Adriaenssens, D. Fracchiolla, S. Shoebridge, B. S. Padman, M. Skulsuppaisarn, R. S. J. Lindblom, S. Martens, M. Lazarou

This study identifies an unconventional mechanism by which OPTN initiates mitophagy through TBK1 and the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I, distinct from the FIP200-ULK1/2 pathway.

Shuffled ATG8 interacting motifs form an ancestral bridge between UFMylation and C53-mediated autophagy

L. Picchianti, V. Sanchez de Medina Hernandez, N. Zhan, N. A. T. Irwin, M. Stephani, H. Hornegger, R. Beveridge, J. Sawa-Makarska, T. Lendl, N. Grujic, S. Martens, T. A. Richards, T. Clausen, S. Ramundo, E. G. Karagoz, Y. Dagdas

The paper shows that non-canonical shuffled ATG8 interacting motifs in C53 link UFMylation and autophagy, revealing an ancestral regulatory mechanism for ER homeostasis.
