Figures & data

Figure 1. TRIM27-TBK1-SQSTM1/p62 complex assembly and induction of mitophagy. TRIM27 close to mitochondria recruit TBK1, leading to its activation and stabilization. Active TBK1 phosphorylates SQSTM1/p62, enhancing the affinity of SQSTM1/p62 for ubiquitinated substrates on the mitochondrial outer membrane leading to mitochondrial clustering and mitophagy.
