Schematic representation showing UPP and autophagy mediated proteolysis. A transcription factor, Nrf1 is liberated from the ER after stress and translocates to the nucleus, where it induces the expression of proteasome subunit genes through the ARE (antioxidant response element) by hetero-dimerizing with a small Maf (sMaf) protein. Selective autophagy is known to exert proteolysis through the recognition of unnecessary target protein via p62-LC3-autophagosome. Nrf1, NF-E2-related factor 1; sMAF, small musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma proteins; ARE, antioxidant response element; Ub, Ubiquitin; LC3, Microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3; UBA, Ubiquitin-Associated domain.
