摘要
ABSTRACTReticulophagy is a selective autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mediated by cargo receptors. It plays a crucial role in ER quality control, yet the mechanisms that initiate reticulophagy remain poorly understood. Our study identified the multifunctional protein UVRAG (UV radiation resistance associated gene) as a novel regulator of reticulophagy. UVRAG interacts with sheet and tubular reticulophagy receptors, regulates the oligomerization of receptors and facilitates their interaction with LC3/GABARAP, critical for ER fragmentation and autophagosome targeting. Remarkably, we found that UVRAG’s function in reticulophagy initiation is independent of its traditional role in macroautophagy. Furthermore, UVRAG enhances the degradation of ER-associated mutant proteins linked to diseases like diabetes. Our findings offer insights into the mechanisms of reticulophagy initiation and highlight UVRAG’s therapeutic potential in ER-related diseases.KEYWORDS: Autophagycargo receptorLC3/GABARAPreticulophagyUVRAGDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
