The Beclin 1–VPS34 complex – at the crossroads of autophagy and beyond
Open accessAbstract
An increasing body of research on autophagy provides overwhelming evidence for its connection to various biological functions and human diseases. Beclin 1 is the first described mammalian autophagy protein and appears to act as a nexus point between autophagy, endosomal, and perhaps also cell death pathways. Beclin 1 performs these roles as part of a core complex that contains vacuolar sorting protein 34 (VPS34), a class III phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. The precise mechanism of Beclin 1-mediated regulation of these cellular functions is unclear, but substantial progress has recently been made in identifying new players and their functions in Beclin 1-VSP34 complexes. Here, we review emerging studies, which are beginning to unveil physiological functions for Beclin 1-VPS34 in the central control of autophagic activity and other cellular trafficking events through the formation of distinct Beclin 1-VPS34 protein complexes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
