Beclin 1 (Bcl-2 interacting coiled-coil protein; also know as ATG6) is a 60 kDa member of the Beclin family of proteins. It is part of a lipid-kinase complex that includes UVRAG and PI3 and induces autophagy; in the presence of Bcl-2, autophagy is repressed. Beclin 1 is widely expressed but abundantly found in mammary epithelium, glia and neurons. Human Beclin 1 is 450 amino acids (aa) in length and contains a Bcl-2 binding domain (aa 88‑150), a nuclear export signal motif (aa 180‑189), a coiled-coil region (aa 142‑270), and an evolutionary conserved domain (aa 244‑337). There is one potential alternate start site at Met88. Over aa 12‑239, human Beclin 1 is 98% aa identical to mouse Beclin 1.

Autophagy: Pro or Anti-tumorigenic? And the role of epigenetics in this debate By Christina Towers, PhDAutophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that cells use to break down damaged cytoplasmic constituents in order to fuel cellular metabolism, particularly in instances of stress. This process has been heavily ... Read full blog post. |
Key Targets in Apoptosis, Necroptosis, and Autophagy Cell death/recycling pathways such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and autophagy are an integral part of the growth, development, homeostasis as well as the pathophysiology in the life of living organisms. These signaling pathways are highly regulated and ... Read full blog post. |
TRIF/TICAM1 and mitochondrial dynamics in the innate immune response TRIF, also known as toll like receptor adaptor molecule 1 or TICAM1, is known for its role in invading foreign pathogens as part of our innate immune response.
