Abstract

Degradation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by selective autophagy (ER‐phagy) is crucial for ER homeostasis. However, it remains unclear how ER scission is regulated for subsequent autophagosomal sequestration and lysosomal degradation. Here, we show that oligomerization of ER‐phagy receptor FAM134B (also referred to as reticulophagy regulator 1 or RETREG1) through its reticulon‐homology domain is required for membrane fragmentation in vitro and ER‐phagy in vivo. Under ER‐stress conditions, activated CAMK2B phosphorylates the reticulon‐homology domain of FAM134B, which enhances FAM134B oligomerization and activity in membrane fragmentation to accommodate high demand for ER‐phagy. Unexpectedly, FAM134B G216R, a variant derived from a type II hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) patient, exhibits gain‐of‐function defects, such as hyperactive self‐association and membrane scission, which results in excessive ER‐phagy and sensory neuron death. Therefore, this study reveals a mechanism of ER membrane fragmentation in ER‐phagy, along with a signaling pathway in regulating ER turnover, and suggests a potential implication of excessive selective autophagy in human diseases.

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.
