The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of the nuclear envelope and both peripheral ER sheets and a peripheral tubular network [1, 2]. In response to physiological or pathological conditions, receptor-mediated selective ER-phagy, engulfing specific ER subdomains or components, is essential for ER turnover and homeostasis [3-6]. Four mammalian receptors for ER-phagy have been reported: FAM134B [7], reticulon 3 (RTN3) [8], SEC62 [9], and CCPG1 [10]. However, these ER-phagy receptors function in subcellular- and tissue- or physiological- and pathological-condition-specific manners, so the diversity of ER-phagy receptors and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown [3, 4]. Atlastins (ATL1, ATL2, and ATL3), in mammals, are a class of membrane-bound, dynamin-like GTPases that function in ER fusion [11, 12]. ATL1 is expressed mainly in the central nervous system, while ATL2 and ATL3 are more ubiquitously distributed [13]. Recent studies showed that ATL2 mainly affects ER morphology by promoting ER fusion, whereas alterations in ER morphology are hardly detectable after ATL3 depletion [14, 15]. Here, we show that ATL3 functions as a receptor for ER-phagy, promoting tubular ER degradation upon starvation. ATL3 specifically binds to GABARAP, but not LC3, subfamily proteins via 2 GABARAP interaction motifs (GIMs). ATL3-GABARAP interaction is essential for ATL3 to function in ER-phagy. Moreover, hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type I (HSAN I)-associated ATL3 mutations (Y192C and P338R) disrupt ATL3's association with GABARAP and impair ATL3's function in ER-phagy, suggesting that defective ER-phagy is involved in HSAN I. Therefore, we reveal a new ATL3 function for GABARAP-mediated ER-phagy in the degradation of tubular ER.

Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
