Elucidation of Regulatory Mechanism of Ulk1 in Alternative Autophagy.

Caption

Genotoxic stress induces Ulk1 dephosphorylation at Ser637 in a p53/PPM1D-dependent manner. The dephosphorylated Ulk1 is then phosphorylated at Ser746 by a necroptosis initiator, RIPK3, and translocates to the Golgi, which results in alternative autophagy (left). TNF signaling induces necroptosis but not alternative autophagy (right).
