mTORC1-Regulated and HUWE1-Mediated WIPI2 Degradation Controls Autophagy Flux.

Wan W, You Z, Zhou L, Xu Y, Peng C, Zhou T, Yi C, Shi Y, Liu W

mTORC1, the major homeostatic sensor and responder, regulates cell catabolism mainly by targeting autophagy. Here, we show that mTORC1 directly controls autophagosome formation via phosphorylation of WIPI2, a critical protein in isolation membrane growth and elongation. mTORC1 phosphorylates Ser395 of WIPI2, directing WIPI2 to interact specifically with the E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Physiological or pharmacological ... [more]

Biochemical Activity
Biochemical Activity

An interaction is inferred from the biochemical effect of one protein upon another, for example, GTP-GDP exchange activity or phosphorylation of a substrate by a kinase. The bait protein executes the activity on the substrate hit protein. A Modification value is recorded for interactions of this type with the possible values Phosphorylation, Ubiquitination, Sumoylation, Dephosphorylation, Methylation, Prenylation, Acetylation, Deubiquitination, Proteolytic Processing, Glucosylation, Nedd(Rub1)ylation, Deacetylation, No Modification, Demethylation.
