Happy to share the latest work from the Deretic Lab. We demonstrated that ATG16L1 regulates V-ATPase. Hope you all enjoy the data. hubs.la/Q03Hyqnz0

ATG16L1 controls mammalian vacuolar proton ATPase

Duque et al. report a hitherto unappreciated function of ATG16L1, best known for its roles in canonical autophagy and membrane atg8ylation, in directly reg

Excited to share the first paper from the lab! 🥳 The ATG9 and lipid droplets saga continues! Open source!

Liver-specific loss of Atg9a perturbs lipid metabolism and hepatocyte integrity

The autophagy-related protein ATG9A is integral to cellular autophagy and lipid mobilization, yet its importance in mammalian physiology remains underexplored. Using a liver-specific conditional At...

Endosome–ER contact sites in phagophore formation: Trends in Cell Biology www.cell.com/trends/cell-...

Check out the recent spotlight published in @cp-trendscellbio.bsky.social about our study on ER-endosome contacts in autophagy by @julianedagraca.bsky.social

Endosome–ER contact sites in phagophore formation

Autophagy is a crucial ‘self-eating’ mechanism used by eukaryotic cells to degrade and recycle cytosolic materials. A recent study by Da Graça et al. reports that the dynamic mobilization of endosome–...

FINALLY OUT ! After a long journey (of PhD and publication process) my paper on the role of ER-endosomes contact sites in autophagosome formation is officially out 🥳🥳 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

ER-endosome contacts generate a local environment promoting phagophore formation

Da Graça et al. identify ER-endosome contact sites as critical hubs for autophagosome biogenesis, where starvation triggers sequential endosome tethering to ER exit sites. This spatiotemporal coordina...

Nature research paper: WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation

https://go.nature.com/45XMoOB

WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation - Nature

During chronic but not acute inflammation, chromatin remodelling is influenced by nuclear autophagy through WSTF interaction with ATG8 in the nucleus, leading to WSTF nuclear export and its subsequent degradation.
