ER-phagy restrains inflammatory responses through its receptor UBAC2

ABSTRACT: ER-phagy, a selective form of autophagic degradation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fragment, plays an essential role in governing the ER homeostasis. Dysregulation of ER-phagy is associated with the unfolded protein response (UPR), which serves as a vital clue to evoke inflammatory diseases. However, the molecular mechanism underpinning the connection between ER-phagy and disease remains poorly defined. Here, we identified ubiquitin-associated domain-containing protein 2 (UBAC2) as an ER-phagy receptor, but a negative regulator of inflammatory responses. UBAC2 harbors a canonical LC3-interacting region (LIR) in the cytoplasmic domain that binds to autophagosomal GABARAP. Upon ER-stress or autophagy activation condition, microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) catalyzes the phospho
