    • Mechanism and structural requirements for formation of p62 bodies and degradation of p62 by selective autophagy 

      Palara, Anthimi (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-12-03)
      Selective autophagy is responsible for the lysosomal degradation of damaged and surplus cytoplasmic components, including misfolded proteins and dysfunctional organelles. Selective autophagy is required for protein and organelle quality control basally and upon stress. For the autophagic process to be precise, selective autophagy receptors (SARs) like SQSTM1/p62 are required. Autophagic substrates ...

    • Mechanisms of antibiotic action shape the fitness landscapes of resistance mutations 

      Hemez, Colin; Clarelli, Fabrizio; Palmer, Adam C.; Bleis, Christina; Abel, Sören; Chindelevitch, Leonid; Cohen, Theodore; Abel zur Wiesch, Pia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-24)
      Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are a major public health threat. A deeper understanding of how an antibiotic’s mechanism of action influences the emergence of resistance would aid in the design of new drugs and help to preserve the effectiveness of existing ones. To this end, we developed a model that links bacterial population dynamics with antibiotic-target binding kinetics. Our approach allows ...

    • Mechanisms of Selective Autophagy 

      Lamark, Trond; Johansen, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-21)
      Selective autophagy is the lysosomal degradation of specific intracellular components sequestered into autophagosomes, late endosomes, or lysosomes through the activity of selective autophagy receptors (SARs). SARs interact with autophagy-related (ATG)8 family proteins via sequence motifs called LC3-interacting region (LIR) motifs in vertebrates and Atg8-interacting motifs (AIMs) in yeast and plants. ...
