Abstract: Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a specific form of autophagy that selectively targets proteins containing a KFERQ-like motif and relies on the chaperone protein HSC70 for substrate recognition. In α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a disease characterized by the hepatic build-up of α1-Antitrypsin Z mutant (ATZ), CMA’s role had been unclear. This work demonstrates the critical role that CMA plays in preventing ATZ accumulation; suppressing CMA worsens ATZ accumulation, whilst activating it through chemical… Show more
