Abstract
TAX1BP1, a multifunctional autophagy adaptor, plays critical roles in different autophagy processes. As an autophagy receptor, TAX1BP1 can interact with RB1CC1, NAP1, and mammalian ATG8 family proteins to drive selective autophagy for relevant substrates. However, the mechanistic bases underpinning the specific interactions of TAX1BP1 with RB1CC1 and mammalian ATG8 family proteins remain elusive. Here, we find that there are two distinct binding sites between TAX1BP1 and RB1CC1. In addition to the previously reported TAX1BP1 SKICH (skeletal muscle and kidney enriched inositol phosphatase (SKIP) carboxyl homology)/RB1CC1 coiled-coil interaction, the first coiled-coil domain of TAX1BP1 can directly bind to the extreme C-terminal coiled-coil and Claw region of RB1CC1. We determine the crystal structure of the TAX1BP1 SKICH/RB1CC1 coiled-coil complex and unravel the detailed binding mechanism of TAX1BP1 SKICH with RB1CC1. Moreover, we demonstrate that RB1CC1 and NAP1 are competitive in binding to the TAX1BP1 SKICH domain, but the presence of NAP1's FIP200-interacting region (FIR) motif can stabilize the ternary TAX1BP1/NAP1/RB1CC1 complex formation. Finally, we elucidate the molecular mechanism governing the selective interactions of TAX1BP1 with ATG8 family members by solving the structure of GABARAP in complex with the non-canonical LIR (LC3-interacting region) motif of TAX1BP1, which unveils a unique binding mode between LIR and ATG8 family protein. Collectively, our findings provide mechanistic insights into the interactions of TAX1BP1 with RB1CC1 and mammalian ATG8 family proteins and are valuable for further understanding the working mode and function of TAX1BP1 in autophagy.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is now the most common form of HF and has been reported to be closely related to diabetes. Accumulating evidence suggests that HFpEF patients exhibit cardiac fibrosis. This study investigates whether direct targeted inhibition of the activation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), the main effector cells in cardiac fibrosis, improves diabetes-induced HFpEF and elucidates the underlying mechanisms. Twenty-week-old db/db mice exhibited HFpEF, as confirmed by echocardiography and hemodynamic measurements. Proteomics was performed on CFs isolated from the hearts of 20-week-old C57BL/6 and db/db mice. Bioinformatic prediction was used to identify target proteins. Experimental validation was performed in both high glucose (HG)-treated neonatal mouse CFs (NMCFs) and diabetic hearts. TAX1 binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) was identified as the most significantly differentially expressed protein between 20-week-old C57BL/6 and db/db mice. TAX1BP1 mRNA and protein were markedly downregulated in CFs from diabetic hearts and HG-cultured NMCFs. Overexpression of TAX1BP1 profoundly inhibited HG/diabetes-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation and collagen synthesis in CFs, improved cardiac fibrosis, hypertrophy, inflammation and HFpEF in diabetic mice. Mechanistically, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which is phosphorylated and translocated from the cytoplasm into the nucleus under hyperglycemic conditions, bound to TAX1BP1 promoter and blocked TAX1BP1 transcriptional activity, consequently promoting NF-κB nuclear translocation and collagen synthesis in CFs, aggravating cardiac fibrosis, hypertrophy and inflammation, leading to HFpEF in db/db mice. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that targeting regulation of STAT3-TAX1BP1-NF-κB signaling in CFs may be a promising therapeutic approach for diabetes-induced HFpEF.

Abstract
Ubiquitination of mitochondrial proteins provides a basis for the downstream recruitment of mitophagy machinery, yet whether ubiquitination of the machinery itself contributes to mitophagy is unknown. Here, we show that K63-linked polyubiquitination of the key mitophagy regulator TBK1 is essential for its mitophagy functions. This modification is catalyzed by the ubiquitin ligase TRIM5α. Mitochondrial damage triggers TRIM5α's auto-ubiquitination and its interaction with ubiquitin-binding autophagy adaptors including NDP52, optineurin, and NBR1. Autophagy adaptors, along with TRIM27, enable TRIM5α to engage with TBK1. TRIM5α with intact ubiquitination function is required for the proper accumulation of active TBK1 on damaged mitochondria in Parkin-dependent and Parkin-independent mitophagy pathways. Additionally, we show that TRIM5α can directly recruit autophagy initiation machinery to damaged mitochondria. Our data support a model in which TRIM5α provides a self-amplifying, mitochondria-localized, ubiquitin-based, assembly platform for TBK1 and mitophagy adaptors that is ultimately required to recruit the core autophagy machinery.

Abstract
Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is associated with a variety of disorders, including depression. Bavachalcone is a natural ingredient extracted from Psoralea corylifolia and has various pharmacological effects. However, its anti-neuroinflammatory and antidepressant effects remain unclear. In the present study, we found that bavachalcone improved lipopolysaccharide-induced depressive-like behaviors in mice and exerted an inhibitory effect on the activation of microglia in brain tissue. Further study revealed that bavachalcone inhibited the expression of TRAF6 and the activation of the NF-κB pathway in lipopolysaccharide-induced in vitro and vivo models, while bavachalcone upregulated the expression of A20 and TAX1BP1 and enhanced their interactions. In addition, bavachalcone inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6. Transfection with siRNA treatment showed that downregulation of A20 and TAX1BP1 weakened the anti-neuroinflammatory effect of bavachalcone. In conclusion, these results are the first to demonstrate that bavachalcone exerts anti-neuroinflammatory and antidepressant effects via inhibition of the NF-κB pathway mediated by upregulating A20 and TAX1BP1, and may be a potential candidate for the treatment of neuroinflammation-related diseases, including depression.

Abstract
Parthanatos is a type of programmed cell death initiated by over-activated poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). Nuclear translocation of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) is a prominent feature of parthanatos. But it remains unclear how activated nuclear PARP1 induces mitochondrial AIF translocation into nuclei. Evidence has shown that deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) induces parthanatos in glioma cells via induction of excessive ROS. In this study we explored the downstream signal of activated PARP1 to induce nuclear translocation of AIF in DPT-triggered glioma cell parthanatos. We showed that treatment with DPT (450 nM) induced PARP1 over-activation and Tax1 binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) distribution to mitochondria in human U87, U251 and U118 glioma cells. PARP1 activation promoted TAX1BP1 distribution to mitochondria by depleting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Knockdown of TAX1BP1 with siRNA not only inhibited TAX1BP1 accumulation in mitochondria, but also alleviated nuclear translocation of AIF and glioma cell death. We demonstrated that TAX1BP1 enhanced the activity of respiratory chain complex I not only by upregulating the expression of ND1, ND2, NDUFS2 and NDUFS4, but also promoting their assemblies into complex I. The activated respiratory complex I generated more superoxide to cause mitochondrial depolarization and nuclear translocation of AIF, while the increased mitochondrial superoxide reversely reinforced PARP1 activation by inducing ROS-dependent DNA double strand breaks. In mice bearing human U87 tumor xenograft, administration of DPT (10 mg· kg-1 ·d-1, i.p., for 8 days) markedly inhibited the tumor growth accompanied by NAD+ depletion, TAX1BP1 distribution to mitochondria, AIF distribution to nuclei as well as DNA DSBs and PARP1 activation in tumor tissues. Taken together, these data suggest that TAX1BP1 acts as a downstream signal of activated PARP1 to trigger nuclear translocation of AIF by activation of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I.

Abstract
Mitophagy is a form of selective autophagy that disposes of superfluous and potentially damage-inducing organelles in a tightly controlled manner. While the machinery involved in mitophagy induction is well known, the regulation of the components is less clear. Here, we demonstrate that TNIP1 knockout in HeLa cells accelerates mitophagy rates and that ectopic TNIP1 negatively regulates the rate of mitophagy. These functions of TNIP1 depend on an evolutionarily conserved LIR motif as well as an AHD3 domain, which are required for binding to the LC3/GABARAP family of proteins and the autophagy receptor TAX1BP1, respectively. We further show that phosphorylation appears to regulate its association with the ULK1 complex member FIP200, allowing TNIP1 to compete with autophagy receptors, which provides a molecular rationale for its inhibitory function during mitophagy. Taken together, our findings describe TNIP1 as a negative regulator of mitophagy that acts at the early steps of autophagosome biogenesis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of iron-dependent regulated cell death characterized by unrestricted lipid peroxidation and membrane damage. Although GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4) plays a master role in blocking ferroptosis by eliminating phospholipid hydroperoxides, the regulation of GPX4 remains poorly understood. Here, we report an unexpected role for copper in promoting ferroptotic cell death, but not cuproptosis, by inducing macroautophagic/autophagic degradation of GPX4. Copper chelators reduce ferroptosis sensitivity but do not inhibit other types of cell death, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and alkaliptosis. Conversely, exogenous copper increases GPX4 ubiquitination and the formation of GPX4 aggregates by directly binding to GPX4 protein cysteines C107 and C148. TAX1BP1 (Tax1 binding protein 1) then acts as an autophagic receptor for GPX4 degradation and subsequent ferroptosis in response to copper stress. Consequently, copper enhances ferroptosis-mediated tumor suppression in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer tumor, whereas copper chelators attenuate experimental acute pancreatitis associated with ferroptosis. Taken together, these findings provide new insights into the link between metal stress and autophagy-dependent cell death.Abbreviations: CALCOCO2, calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; GPX4, glutathione peroxidase 4; MAP1LC3A/B, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha/beta; MPO, myeloperoxidase; NCOA4, nuclear receptor coactivator 4; OPTN, optineurin; PDAC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; RIPK1, receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 1; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SLC40A1, solute carrier family 40 member 1; SQSTM1, sequestosome 1; TAX1BP1, Tax1 binding protein 1; TEPA, tetraethylenepentamine; TM, tetrathiomolybdate.

Abstract
TAX1BP1 is a selective macroautophagy/autophagy receptor that plays a central role in host defense to pathogens and in regulating the innate immune system. TAX1BP1 facilitates the xenophagic clearance of pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella typhimurium and Mycobacterium tuberculosis and regulates TLR3 (toll-like receptor 3)-TLR4 and DDX58/RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling by targeting TICAM1 and MAVS for autophagic degradation respectively. In addition to these canonical autophagy receptor functions, TAX1BP1 can also exert multiple accessory functions that influence the biogenesis and maturation of autophagosomes. In this review, we will discuss and integrate recent findings related to the autophagy function of TAX1BP1 and highlight outstanding questions regarding its functions in autophagy and regulation of innate immunity and host defense.Abbreviations: ATG: autophagy related; CALCOCO: calcium binding and coiled-coil domain; CC: coiled-coil; CHUK/IKKα: conserved helix-loop-helix ubiquitous kinase; CLIR: noncanonical LC3-interacting region; GABARAP: gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor associated protein; HTLV-1: human T-lymphotropic virus 1; IFN: interferon; IL1B/IL1β: interleukin 1 beta; LIR: LC3-interacting region; LPS: lipopolysaccharide; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; MAPK/JNK: mitogen-activated protein kinase; mATG8: mammalian Atg8 homolog; MAVS: mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein; MEF: mouse embryonic fibroblast; MTB: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; MYD88: myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88; NBR1: NBR1, autophagy cargo receptor; NFKB/NF-κB: nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells; OPTN: optineurin; Poly(I:C): polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid; PTM: post-translational modification; RB1CC1: RB1-inducible coiled-coil 1; RIPK: receptor (TNFRSF)-interacting serine-threonine kinase; RLR: DDX58/RIG-I-like receptor; RSV: respiratory syncytia virus; SKICH: SKIP carboxyl homology; SLR: SQSTM1 like receptor; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TAX1BP1: Tax1 (human T cell leukemia virus type I) binding protein 1; TBK1: TANK-binding kinase 1; TICAM1: toll-like receptor adaptor molecule 1; TLR: toll-like receptor; TNF: tumor necrosis factor; TNFAIP3: TNF alpha induced protein 3; TNFR: tumor necrosis factor receptor; TOM1: target of myb1 trafficking protein; TRAF: TNF receptor-associated factor; TRIM32: tripartite motif-containing 32; UBD: ubiquitin binding domain; ZF: zinc finger.

Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of sexually transmitted bacterial infections and a major threat to women's reproductive health in particular. This obligate intracellular pathogen resides and replicates within a cellular compartment termed an inclusion, where it is sheltered by unknown mechanisms from gamma-interferon (IFNγ)-induced cell-autonomous host immunity. Through a genetic screen, we uncovered the Chlamydia inclusion membrane protein gamma resistance determinant (GarD) as a bacterial factor protecting inclusions from cell-autonomous immunity. In IFNγ-primed human cells, inclusions formed by garD loss-of-function mutants become decorated with linear ubiquitin and are eliminated. Leveraging cellular genome-wide association data, we identified the ubiquitin E3 ligase RNF213 as a candidate anti-Chlamydia protein. We demonstrate that IFNγ-inducible RNF213 facilitates the ubiquitylation and destruction of GarD-deficient inclusions. Furthermore, we show that GarD operates as a cis-acting stealth factor barring RNF213 from targeting inclusions, thus functionally defining GarD as an RNF213 antagonist essential for chlamydial growth during IFNγ-stimulated immunity.

Abstract
Mammalian TAX1BP1 (TAX1 binding protein 1), originally identified as a partner of the HTLV-1 viral oncoprotein, functions in regulation of cellular cytokine production. TAX1BP1 plays an important signal transduction regulator, specifically modulating innate immune signaling pathways including NF-B and IRF3. The function of TAX1BP1, which regulates the innate immune response in mammals, has been well studied in previous reports, but the role of chicken TAX1BP1 (chTAX1) in IFN regulation and infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) replication is still unclear. In this report, chTAX1 was successfully cloned and sub-inserted into a eukaryotic expression vector. The critical regions of chTAX1, such as LC3 binding motif, ubiquitin binding motif, are highly conserved compared to other organisms. We also found that chTAX1 inhibits IFN expression by promoting degradation of chicken MAVS (chMAVS). In addition, the distribution of chTAX1 altered and translocated to co-localize with both VP1 and VP3 after IBDV infection. Overexpression of chTAX1 promotes IBDV replication and knockdown of chTAX1 by RNA interference suppresses IBDV replication. In summary, our data initially indicate that chTAX1 is a suppressor of IFN expression as well as a promoter of IBDV replication.

Abstract
The obligate intracellular protozoan pathogen Toxoplasma gondii infects a wide range of vertebrate hosts and frequently causes zoonotic infections in humans. Whereas infected immunocompetent individuals typically remain asymptomatic, toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised individuals can manifest as a severe, potentially lethal disease, and congenital Toxoplasma infections are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. The protective immune response of healthy individuals involves the production of lymphocyte-derived cytokines such as interferon gamma (IFN-γ), which elicits cell-autonomous immunity in host cells. IFN-γ-inducible antiparasitic defense programs comprise nutritional immunity, the production of noxious gases, and the ubiquitylation of the Toxoplasma-containing parasitophorous vacuole (PV). PV ubiquitylation prompts the recruitment of host defense proteins to the PV and the consequential execution of antimicrobial effector programs, which reduce parasitic burden. However, the ubiquitin E3 ligase orchestrating these events has remained unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the IFN-γ-inducible E3 ligase RNF213 translocates to Toxoplasma PVs and facilitates PV ubiquitylation in human cells. Toxoplasma PVs become decorated with linear and K63-linked ubiquitin and recruit ubiquitin adaptor proteins in a process that is RNF213 dependent but independent of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC). IFN-γ priming fails to restrict Toxoplasma growth in cells lacking RNF213 expression, thus identifying RNF213 as a potent executioner of ubiquitylation-driven antiparasitic host defense.

Abstract
Protein aggregation is a hallmark of multiple human pathologies. Autophagy selectively degrades protein aggregates via aggrephagy. How selectivity is achieved has been elusive. Here, we identify the chaperonin subunit CCT2 as an autophagy receptor regulating the clearance of aggregation-prone proteins in the cell and the mouse brain. CCT2 associates with aggregation-prone proteins independent of cargo ubiquitination and interacts with autophagosome marker ATG8s through a non-classical VLIR motif. In addition, CCT2 regulates aggrephagy independently of the ubiquitin-binding receptors (P62, NBR1, and TAX1BP1) or chaperone-mediated autophagy. Unlike P62, NBR1, and TAX1BP1, which facilitate the clearance of protein condensates with liquidity, CCT2 specifically promotes the autophagic degradation of protein aggregates with little liquidity (solid aggregates). Furthermore, aggregation-prone protein accumulation induces the functional switch of CCT2 from a chaperone subunit to an autophagy receptor by promoting CCT2 monomer formation, which exposes the VLIR to ATG8s interaction and, therefore, enables the autophagic function.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main cause of acute respiratory infections in young children and also has a major impact on the elderly and immunocompromised people. In the absence of a vaccine or efficient treatment, a better understanding of RSV interactions with the host antiviral response during infection is needed. Previous studies revealed that cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs), where viral replication and transcription occur, could play a major role in the control of innate immunity during infection by recruiting cellular proteins involved in the host antiviral response. We recently showed that the morphogenesis of IBs relies on a liquid-liquid-phase separation mechanism depending on the interaction between viral nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein (P). These scaffold proteins are expected to play a central role in the recruitment of cellular proteins to IBs. Here, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen using RSV N protein as bait and identified the cellular protein TAX1BP1 as a potential partner of this viral protein. This interaction was validated by pulldown and immunoprecipitation assays. We showed that TAX1BP1 suppression has only a limited impact on RSV infection in cell cultures. However, RSV replication is decreased in TAX1BP1-deficient (TAX1BP1 knockout [TAX1BP1KO]) mice, whereas the production of inflammatory and antiviral cytokines is enhanced. In vitro infection of wild-type or TAX1BP1KO alveolar macrophages confirmed that the innate immune response to RSV infection is enhanced in the absence of TAX1BP1. Altogether, our results suggest that RSV could hijack TAX1BP1 to restrain the host immune response during infection. IMPORTANCE Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract illness in infants, remains a medical problem in the absence of a vaccine or efficient treatment. This virus is also recognized as a main pathogen in the elderly and immunocompromised people, and the occurrence of coinfections (with other respiratory viruses and bacteria) amplifies the risks of developing respiratory distress. In this context, a better understanding of the pathogenesis associated with viral respiratory infections, which depends on both viral replication and the host immune response, is needed. The present study reveals that the cellular protein TAX1BP1, which interacts with the RSV nucleoprotein N, participates in the control of the innate immune response during RSV infection, suggesting that the N-TAX1BP1 interaction represents a new target for the development of antivirals.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (MI), one of the most common cardiovascular emergencies, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Ample evidence has revealed an essential role for inflammasome activation and autophagy in the pathogenesis of acute MI. Tax1-binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1), an adaptor molecule involved in termination of proinflammatory signaling, serves as an important selective autophagy adaptor, but its role in cardiac ischemia remains elusive. This study examined the role of TAX1BP1 in myocardial ischemic stress and the underlying mechanisms involved. Levels of TAX1BP1 were significantly downregulated in heart tissues of patients with ischemic heart disease and in a left anterior descending (LAD) ligation-induced model of acute MI. Adenovirus carrying TAX1BP1 was delivered into the myocardium. The acute MI induced procedure elicited an infarct and cardiac dysfunction, the effect of which was mitigated by TAX1BP1 overexpression with little effect from viral vector alone. TAX1BP1 nullified acute MI-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and associated mitochondrial dysfunction. TAX1BP1 overexpression suppressed NLRP3 mitochondrial localization by inhibiting the interaction of NLRP3 with mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). Further investigation revealed that ring finger protein 34 (RNF34) was recruited to interact with TAX1BP1 thereby facilitating autophagic degradation of MAVS through K27-linked polyubiquitination of MAVS. Knockdown of RNF34 using siRNA nullified TAX1BP1 yielded protection against hypoxia-induced MAVS mitochondrial accumulation, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and associated loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Taken together, our results favor a cardioprotective role for TAX1BP1 in acute MI through repression of inflammasome activation in a RNF34/MAVS-dependent manner.

Abstract
The selective targeting and disposal of solid protein aggregates are essential for cells to maintain protein homoeostasis. Autophagy receptors including p62, NBR1, Cue5/TOLLIP (CUET), and Tax1-binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) proteins function in selective autophagy by targeting ubiquitinated aggregates through ubiquitin-binding domains. Here, we summarize previous beliefs and recent findings on selective receptors in aggregate autophagy. Since there are many reviews on selective autophagy receptors, we focus on their oligomerization, which enables receptors to function as pathway determinants and promotes phase separation.

Abstract
Autophagosome formation requires multiple autophagy-related (ATG) factors. However, we find that a subset of autophagy substrates remains robustly targeted to the lysosome in the absence of several core ATGs, including the LC3 lipidation machinery. To address this unexpected result, we performed genome-wide CRISPR screens identifying genes required for NBR1 flux in ATG7KO cells. We find that ATG7-independent autophagy still requires canonical ATG factors including FIP200. However, in the absence of LC3 lipidation, additional factors are required including TAX1BP1 and TBK1. TAX1BP1's ability to cluster FIP200 around NBR1 cargo and induce local autophagosome formation enforces cargo specificity and replaces the requirement for lipidated LC3. In support of this model, we define a ubiquitin-independent mode of TAX1BP1 recruitment to NBR1 puncta, highlighting that TAX1BP1 recruitment and clustering, rather than ubiquitin binding per se, is critical for function. Collectively, our data provide a mechanistic basis for reports of selective autophagy in cells lacking the lipidation machinery, wherein receptor-mediated clustering of upstream autophagy factors drives continued autophagosome formation.

Abstract
Sesamin is a major component in lignans of sesame seeds, has been described to possess a lot of biological activity. The main objective of our study was to investigate the inhibitory effect and novel molecular mechanisms of sesamin on carrageenan-induced lung inflammation in rats. Here we showed that sesamin can obviously reduce polymorphonuclear neutrophils infiltration and exudate volume. Further studies exhibited sesamin can inhibit cytokines release, polymorphonuclear neutrophils markers production and the degree of lung tissues injury. Western blot analysis revealed that sesamin can inhibit the TRAF6 expression and NF-κB pathway activation in lung tissue. We found that sesamin can increase the expression of A20 and TAX1BP1 in lung tissues, and the interaction between the two molecules. In conclusion, all these results demonstrated that sesamin can attenuate carrageenan-induced lung inflammation, the mechanisms that may be related to upregulation of the novel target A20 and TAX1BP1 which can negative regulation for NF-κB pathway. Importantly, this is the first evidence showing that TAX1BP1 can be as a novel regulatory target to attenuate the lung inflammation.

Abstract
Isobavachalcone (IBC) is a natural compound isolated from Fructus psoraleae. In recent years, IBC has been reported to exert anti-neuroinflammatory effect, but precise mechanisms of action remain unclear. The current study is focused on elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms. Toward this goal, we conducted experiments to examine the inhibitory effect of IBC on microglia activation in vitro and in vivo, the results showed that IBC can inhibit microglia activation compared to the LPS only treatment group. Further studies on the mechanisms showed IBC can increase TAX1BP1 expression which further induced an increased interaction with ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20. We found the novel target TAX1BP1 was involved in the inhibitory effect of IBC on microglia activation via TRAF6 degradation and inhibition of NF-κB pathway. Meanwhile, we found that IBC can obviously induce activation of Nrf2/HO-1 via P38 pathway activation. All these results demonstrated IBC can inhibit microglia activation through upregulation of TAX1BP1 and activation of P38/Nrf2 pathway. Importantly, we found TAX1BP1 as a novel target for inhibitory effect of IBC on microglia activation independently from P38/Nrf2 pathway. This present study provided a novel mechanism for IBC which was expected to be useful in preventing or treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The autophagic clearance of damaged lysosomes by lysophagy involves extensive modification of the organelle with ubiquitin, but the underlying ubiquitination machinery is still poorly characterized. Here, we use an siRNA screening approach and identify human UBE2QL1 as a major regulator of lysosomal ubiquitination, lysophagy, and cell survival after lysosomal damage. UBE2QL1 translocates to permeabilized lysosomes where it associates with damage sensors, ubiquitination targets, and lysophagy effectors. UBE2QL1 knockdown reduces ubiquitination and accumulation of the critical autophagy receptor p62 and abrogates recruitment of the AAA-ATPase VCP/p97, which is essential for efficient lysophagy. Crucially, it affects association of LC3B with damaged lysosomes indicating that autophagosome formation was impaired. Already in unchallenged cells, depletion of UBE2QL1 leads to increased lysosomal damage, mTOR dissociation from lysosomes, and TFEB activation pointing to a role in lysosomal homeostasis. In line with this, mutation of the homologue ubc-25 in Caenorhabditis elegans exacerbates lysosome permeability in worms lacking the lysosome stabilizing protein SCAV-3/LIMP2. Thus, UBE2QL1 coordinates critical steps in the acute endolysosomal damage response and is essential for maintenance of lysosomal integrity.

Abstract
Lassa virus (LASV) and Mopeia virus (MOPV) are two closely related Old-World mammarenaviruses. LASV causes severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality in humans, whereas no case of MOPV infection has been reported. Comparing MOPV and LASV is a powerful strategy to unravel pathogenic mechanisms that occur during the course of pathogenic arenavirus infection. We used a yeast two-hybrid approach to identify cell partners of MOPV and LASV Z matrix protein in which two autophagy adaptors were identified, NDP52 and TAX1BP1. Autophagy has emerged as an important cellular defense mechanism against viral infections but its role during arenavirus infection has not been shown. Here, we demonstrate that autophagy is transiently induced by MOPV, but not LASV, in infected cells two days after infection. Impairment of the early steps of autophagy significantly decreased the production of MOPV and LASV infectious particles, whereas a blockade of the degradative steps impaired only MOPV infectious particle production. Our study provides insights into the role played by autophagy during MOPV and LASV infection and suggests that this process could partially explain their different pathogenicity.

Abstract
Selective autophagy recycles damaged organelles and clears intracellular pathogens to prevent their aberrant accumulation. How ULK1 kinase is targeted and activated during selective autophagic events remains to be elucidated. In this study, we used chemically inducible dimerization (CID) assays in tandem with CRISPR KO lines to systematically analyze the molecular basis of selective autophagosome biogenesis. We demonstrate that ectopic placement of NDP52 on mitochondria or peroxisomes is sufficient to initiate selective autophagy by focally localizing and activating the ULK1 complex. The capability of NDP52 to induce mitophagy is dependent on its interaction with the FIP200/ULK1 complex, which is facilitated by TBK1. Ectopically tethering ULK1 to cargo bypasses the requirement for autophagy receptors and TBK1. Focal activation of ULK1 occurs independently of AMPK and mTOR. Our findings provide a parsimonious model of selective autophagy, which highlights the coordination of ULK1 complex localization by autophagy receptors and TBK1 as principal drivers of targeted autophagosome biogenesis. NDP52 associates with the ULK1 complex through FIP200, facilitated by TBK1 NDP52/TBK1 targets ULK1 to cargo to initiate autophagy in the absence of LC3 ULK1 is activated on cargo independently of AMPK and mTOR activity Ectopic recruitment of FIP200-binding peptide is sufficient to degrade cargo

Abstract
NDP52 and TAX1BP1, two SKIP carboxyl homology (SKICH) domain-containing autophagy receptors, play crucial roles in selective autophagy. The autophagic functions of NDP52 and TAX1BP1 are regulated by TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), which may associate with them through the adaptor NAP1. However, the molecular mechanism governing the interactions of NAP1 with NDP52 and TAX1BP1, as well as the effects induced by TBK1-mediated phosphorylation of NDP52 and TAX1BP1, remains elusive. Here, we report the atomic structures of the SKICH regions of NDP52 and TAX1BP1 in complex with NAP1, which not only uncover the mechanistic bases underpinning the specific interactions of NAP1 with the SKICH domains of NDP52 and TAX1BP1 but also reveal the binding mode of a SKICH domain. Moreover, we uncovered that the SKICH domains of NDP52 and TAX1BP1 share a general binding mode to interact with NAP1. Finally, we also evaluated the currently known TBK1-mediated phosphorylation sites in the SKICH domains of NDP52 and TAX1BP1 on the basis of their interactions with NAP1. In all, our findings provide mechanistic insights into the interactions of NAP1 with NDP52 and TAX1BP1, and are valuable for further understanding the functions of these proteins in selective autophagy.

Abstract
Autophagy, a cellular homeostatic process, which ensures cellular survival under various stress conditions, has catapulted to the forefront of innate defense mechanisms during intracellular infections. The ability of autophagy to tag and target intracellular pathogens toward lysosomal degradation is central to this key defense function. However, studies involving the role and regulation of autophagy during intracellular infections largely tend to ignore the housekeeping function of autophagy. A growing number of evidences now suggest that the housekeeping function of autophagy, rather than the direct pathogen degradation function, may play a decisive role to determine the outcome of infection and immunological balance. We discuss herein the studies that establish the homeostatic and anti-inflammatory function of autophagy, as well as role of bacterial effectors in modulating and coopting these functions. Given that the core autophagy machinery remains largely the same across diverse cargos, how selectivity plays out during intracellular infection remains intriguing. We explore here, the contrasting role of autophagy adaptors being both selective as well as pleotropic in functions and discuss whether E3 ligases could bring in the specificity to cargo selectivity.

Abstract
PURPOSE A significant feature of pediatric inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC), is failure to suppress inflammation. The inability to regulate inflammation renders a major challenge toward establishing effective treatments in IBD. Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells-induced inflammation is inhibited by A20 through interactions with TAX1BP1 (Tax1-binding protein 1) and A20-binding inhibitor of NF-κβ activation (ABIN)-1 (A20 binding and inhibitor of NF-κβ) and upon phosphorylation by inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-β kinase subunit beta (IKKβ), which stabilizes it. We hypothesized that dysregulation of A20 is an important factor in uncontrolled inflammation in pediatric IBD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Gene expression of A20, IKKβ, ABIN-1, TAX1BP1, A20 protein, cytokine levels, and A20 phosphorylation was analyzed in the terminal ileum (TI) of 39 patients (14 non-IBD, 15 CD, and 10 UC). A20 expression and protein in T-84 cells and ex vivo biopsies of patients were measured after treatment with Escherichia coli strains or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. RESULTS TNF-α levels and A20 expression were increased in the TI of CD patients. A20 protein levels and ABIN-1 expression were low, TAX1BP1 expression was high, and IKKβ was unchanged. A20 expression positively correlated with biopsy TNF-α levels and inflammatory markers in CD patients. A20 phosphorylation appeared lower in CD patients. A20 expression in TI biopsies from CD patients and T84 cells was triggered with E. coli, strain LF82, while A20 protein levels remained unchanged. CONCLUSION We describe a potential mechanism related to failure of A20 to suppress inflammation in CD, characterized by high A20 expression and low A20 protein levels. The dysregulation of A20 is potentially due to alterations in ABIN-1, and infection with E. coli strain LF82 could affect the function and stability of A20. Our study signifies an important finding in A20 regulation in IBD, which prevents it from suppressing inflammation.

Abstract
Mitochondrial quality control is essential to maintain cellular homeostasis and is achieved by removing damaged, ubiquitinated mitochondria via Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Here, we demonstrate that MYO6 (myosin VI), a unique myosin that moves toward the minus end of actin filaments, forms a complex with Parkin and is selectively recruited to damaged mitochondria via its ubiquitin-binding domain. This myosin motor initiates the assembly of F-actin cages to encapsulate damaged mitochondria by forming a physical barrier that prevents refusion with neighboring populations. Loss of MYO6 results in an accumulation of mitophagosomes and an increase in mitochondrial mass. In addition, we observe downstream mitochondrial dysfunction manifesting as reduced respiratory capacity and decreased ability to rely on oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. Our work uncovers a crucial step in mitochondrial quality control: the formation of MYO6-dependent actin cages that ensure isolation of damaged mitochondria from the network.

Abstract
Iron is vital for many homeostatic processes, and its liberation from ferritin nanocages occurs in the lysosome. Studies indicate that ferritin and its binding partner nuclear receptor coactivator-4 (NCOA4) are targeted to lysosomes by a form of selective autophagy. By using genome-scale functional screening, we identify an alternative lysosomal transport pathway for ferritin that requires FIP200, ATG9A, VPS34, and TAX1BP1 but lacks involvement of the ATG8 lipidation machinery that constitutes classical macroautophagy. TAX1BP1 binds directly to NCOA4 and is required for lysosomal trafficking of ferritin under basal and iron-depleted conditions. Under basal conditions ULK1/2-FIP200 controls ferritin turnover, but its deletion leads to TAX1BP1-dependent activation of TBK1 that regulates redistribution of ATG9A to the Golgi enabling continued trafficking of ferritin. Cells expressing an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated TBK1 allele are incapable of degrading ferritin suggesting a molecular mechanism that explains the presence of iron deposits in patient brain biopsies.

Abstract
Through a network of progressively maturing vesicles, the endosomal system connects the cell's interior with extracellular space. Intriguingly, this network exhibits a bilateral architecture, comprised of a relatively immobile perinuclear vesicle "cloud" and a highly dynamic peripheral contingent. How this spatiotemporal organization is achieved and what function(s) it curates is unclear. Here, we reveal the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located ubiquitin ligase Ring finger protein 26 (RNF26) as the global architect of the entire endosomal system, including the trans-Golgi network (TGN). To specify perinuclear vesicle coordinates, catalytically competent RNF26 recruits and ubiquitinates the scaffold p62/sequestosome 1 (p62/SQSTM1), in turn attracting ubiquitin-binding domains (UBDs) of various vesicle adaptors. Consequently, RNF26 restrains fast transport of diverse vesicles through a common molecular mechanism operating at the ER membrane, until the deubiquitinating enzyme USP15 opposes RNF26 activity to allow vesicle release into the cell's periphery. By drawing the endosomal system's architecture, RNF26 orchestrates endosomal maturation and trafficking of cargoes, including signaling receptors, in space and time.

Abstract
The host response to RNA virus infection consists of an intrinsic innate immune response and the induction of apoptosis as mechanisms to restrict viral replication. The mitochondrial adaptor molecule MAVS plays critical roles in coordinating both virus-induced type I interferon production and apoptosis; however, the regulation of MAVS-mediated apoptosis is poorly understood. Here, we show that the adaptor protein TAX1BP1 functions as a negative regulator of virus-induced apoptosis. TAX1BP1-deficient cells are highly sensitive to apoptosis in response to infection with the RNA viruses vesicular stomatitis virus and Sendai virus and to transfection with poly(I·C). TAX1BP1 undergoes degradation during RNA virus infection, and loss of TAX1BP1 is associated with apoptotic cell death. TAX1BP1 deficiency augments virus-induced activation of proapoptotic c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling. Virus infection promotes the mitochondrial localization of TAX1BP1 and concomitant interaction with the mitochondrial adaptor MAVS. TAX1BP1 recruits the E3 ligase Itch to MAVS to trigger its ubiquitination and degradation, and loss of TAX1BP1 or Itch results in increased MAVS protein expression. Together, these results indicate that TAX1BP1 functions as an adaptor molecule for Itch to target MAVS during RNA virus infection and thus restrict virus-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
We have previously shown that non-structural protein p35, encoded by Scylla serrata reovirus (SsRV) S10, may act as a viroporin. To characterize the role of p35 protein in the modulation of cellular function, a yeast two-hybrid system was used to screen a cDNA library derived from S. serrata to find its interacting partner. Protein interactions were confirmed in vitro by GST pull-down. Full cDNAs of p35 interactors were cloned by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends. After two-hybrid library screening, we isolated partial cDNAs encoding hemocyanin, cryptocyanin, and TAX1BP1. Interaction of p35 with each of hemocyanin, cryptocyanin, and TAX1BP1 was confirmed by GST pull-down. The full-length cDNA fragments of hemocyanin, cryptocyanin, and TAX1BP1 were 2287, 2422, and 3437 bp, respectively, and they encoded three putative proteins with molecular masses of ~76.9, ~79.2, and ~107.2 kDa, respectively. This study casts new light on the function and physiological significance of p35 during the SsRV replication cycle.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The ubiquitin-binding zinc finger (UBZ) is a type of zinc-coordinating β-β-α fold domain found mainly in proteins involved in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Here, we report the crystal structure of the UBZ domain of Y-family DNA polymerase (pol) η and the crystal structure of the complex between the UBZ domain of Werner helicase-interacting protein 1 (WRNIP1) and ubiquitin, crystallized using the GFP fusion technique. In contrast to the pol η UBZ, which has been proposed to bind ubiquitin via its C-terminal α-helix, ubiquitin binds to a novel surface of WRNIP1 UBZ composed of the first β-strand and the C-terminal α-helix. In addition, we report the structure of the tandem UBZ domains of Tax1-binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) and show that the second UBZ of TAX1BP1 binds ubiquitin, presumably in a manner similar to that of WRNIP1 UBZ. We propose that UBZ domains can be divided into at least two different types in terms of the ubiquitin-binding surfaces: the pol η type and the WRNIP1 type. DATABASE Structural data are available in the Protein Data Bank under accession numbers 3WUP (pol η UBZ), 3VHS (WRNIP1 UBZ), 3VHT (GFP-WRNIP1/ubiquitin), 4Z4K (TAX1BP1 UBZ1 + 2), and 4Z4M (TAX1BP1 UBZ2).

Abstract
Antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4) are specific and pathogenetic for Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO). In a previous study, three linear intracellular AQP4 B-cell epitopes were uncovered in NMO patients. A particular epitope showed high-sequence similarity with a segment of the human TAX1BP1 protein, which is necessary for the replication of HTLV-1 virus. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether immunization of mice with the TAX1BP1 peptide could produce specific antibodies against AQP4 epitopes or induce symptoms. Eight C57Bl/6 mice were immunized with TAX1BP1pep in Complete Freund's Adjuvant and eight with adjuvant only. Animals received three subcutaneous injections and sera were obtained before each immunization and at sacrifice. All sera were evaluated by ELISA for antibodies against the TAX1BP1peptide, the homologous AQP4 peptide and all linear AQP4 epitopes. Homologous and cross-inhibition assays were performed to ensure binding specificity, and reactivity against conformational AQP4 epitopes was evaluated by a cell-based assay. Sera from immunized animals showed high reactivity against the immunization peptide, and the homologous AQP4 epitope. Inhibition assays confirmed binding specificity. No antibodies were produced against any other epitopes, either linear or conformational. No clinical or brain inflammatory signs were observed in the animals. The induction of antibodies to an AQP4 epitope in mice immunized with the TAX1BP1-derived peptide suggests that a latent HTLV-1 infection could lead to TAX1BP1 antigen presentation and the production of anti-AQP4 antibodies, probably through T cell-mediated mechanisms. Further studies are needed for exploring triggering factors for NMO especially in HTLV-1-endemic regions.

Abstract
TAX1BP1 is a pleiotropic multi-domain protein involved in many important biological processes such as signal transduction, cell growth and apoptosis, transcriptional coactivation, membrane trafficking, neurotransmission and autophagy. The N-terminus of TAX1BP1 contains a SKICH domain implicated in autophagy. SKICH domains are also present in four other proteins including NDP52, CALCOCO1, SKIP and PIPP. The SKICH domains of SKIP and PIPP mediate plasma membrane localisation. The functions of the SKICH domains of NDP52 and CALCOCO1 are not known. Here we report the crystal structure of the TAX1BP1 SKICH domain, which has an Ig-like fold similar to the NDP52 SKICH domain. Extensive pairwise and clustered aromatic π-stacking interactions are present in the TAX1BP1 SKICH domain. The aromatic residues mediating these interactions can be classified into four groups with varying degrees of conservation among different protein families. The interactions mediated by highly conserved residues are found in the interior and one outward face of the Ig-like β-barrel, representing common structural features of the SKICH domains. Three TAX1BP1-specific pairwise interactions locate in the loop regions, each augmented by a proline-aromatic interaction. The three proline-aromatic clusters are linked together by more generic hydrophobic interactions, forming a unique hydrophobic surface at one end of the TAX1BP1 SKICH domain. The structures and homologous models of SKICH domains from different proteins reveal substantial differences in electrostatic surface properties of the domains. Together with existing biochemical data, results from the structural study suggest that an intact SKICH domain is required for the autophagy function of TAX1BP1.

Abstract
TAX1BP1 is a highly conserved, pleiotropic protein that plays many essential functions in human cells, including negative regulation of inflammatory and antimicrobial responses mediated by NF-κB and IRF3 signaling, inhibition of apoptosis, transcriptional coactivation and autophagy etc. TAX1BP1 contains a SKICH domain at the N-terminus, three coiled-coil domains in the middle and two ubiquitin-binding zinc-finger motifs at the C-terminus. The SKICH domain and the linker sequence between the SKICH domain and the coiled-coil region mediate interaction with ubiquitin-like proteins of the LC3/GABARAP family, which are autophagosome markers. For structure determination of the SKICH domain of TAX1BP1, a protein construct (amino acids 15-148) corresponding to the SKICH domain plus the linker region was expressed, purified and crystallized. A native diffraction data set has been collected to 1.9 Å resolution. A molecular-replacement solution has been found by using the structure of the SKICH domain of NDP52, a paralog of TAX1BP1.
