Beclin 1 is required for neuron viability and regulates endosome pathways via the UVRAG-VPS34 complex.

Beclin 1 is required for neuron viability and regulates endosome pathways via the UVRAG-VPS34 complex.

Deficiency of autophagy protein beclin 1 is implicated in tumorigenesis and neurodegenerative diseases, but the molecular mechanism remains elusive. Previous studies showed that Beclin 1 coordinates the assembly of multiple VPS34 complexes whose distinct phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase III (PI3K-III)...
