text
  • not found on endosomes but instead localizes mainly to the nuclear envelope
  • basic FUNCTION
  • might target cytosolic protein aggregates for autophagic degradation
  • as well as SQSTM1, is required for formation and autophagic degradation of cytoplasmic ubiquitin-positive inclusions
  • required for autophagic degradation of SQSTM1-associated ubiquitinated proteins
  • inclusions phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate-binding protein, central to the selective elimination of aggregated proteins (
  • may plays a key role in selective macroautophagy by bridging cargo to the molecular machinery that builds autophagosomes

  • interacting with SQSTM1 (is required to recruit the large phosphoinositide-binding protein WDFY3 to cytoplasmic SQSTM1 bodies generated upon AA starvation or puromycin-treatment)
  • functional interaction between SQSTM1 and WDFY3 in osteoclasts under conditions of cell stress (
