Direct Interaction of ATP7B and LC3B Proteins Suggests a Cooperative Role of Copper Transportation and Autophagy

Macroautophagy/autophagy plays an important role in cellular copper clearance. The means by which the copper metabolism and autophagy pathways interact mechanistically is vastly unexplored. Dysfunctional ATP7B, a copper-transporting ATPase, is involved in the development of monogenic Wilson disease,...
