Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy

Open access
Dice, J. Fred·2007·Autophagy

Abstract

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a lysosomal pathway of proteolysis that is responsible for the degradation of 30% of cytosolic proteins under conditions of prolonged nutrient deprivation. Molecular chaperones in the cytosol and in the lysosomal lumen stimulate this proteolytic pathway. The molecular chaperones in the cytosol unfold substrate proteins prior to their translocation across the lysosomal membrane, while the chaperone in the lysosomal lumen is probably required to pull the substrate protein across the lysosomal membrane. A critical component for CMA is a receptor in the lysosomal membrane, the lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP) type 2A. LAMP-2A levels in the lysosomal membrane can be increased by reduced degradation and/or redistribution from the lysosomal lumen to the lysosomal membrane. Recent results show that CMA is also activated by oxidative stress, and in this case LAMP-2A is increased due to transcriptional regulation. CMA can be reduced by inhibitors of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and of the heat shock protein of 90 kDa. Reduction of levels of LAMP-2A using RNAi strategies reduces CMA activity, but macroautophagy is activated as a result. The decrease in CMA causes cells to be more susceptibile to oxidative and other stresses. LAMP-2A in the lysosomal membrane can be sequestered into cholesterol-rich microdomains where it is inactive. When CMA is activated, LAMP-2A moves out of these domains. The reduced CMA in aging is due to reduced LAMP-2A in the lysosomal membrane. This reduction is caused by an age-related increased degradation of LAMP-2A and an age-related reduced ability of LAMP-2A to reinsert into the lysosomal membrane. These findings reveal a rich complexity of mechanisms to control CMA activity.

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.
