Exploratory avenues of p62-associated changes.

Cellular process Potential p62-associated effects Refs
Post translational modifications
Phosphorylation, Ubiquitination, Acetylation p62 is under or over post translationally modified McEwan and Dikic (2011)
Autophagy induction, regulation, and fine tuning: p62 accumulation if autophagy dysregulated
Selective autophagy dysregulated
Ubiquitination Cargo is not appropriately ubiquitinated, then p62 will not recognize it for degradation
Phosphorylation p62 pS407: release UBA domain Kageyama et al. (2021)
p62 P-S403: enhance Ub binding
p62 P-S349 enhances Keap1 interaction (Nrf2 activation) and FIP200 interaction
Protein-Protein interactions
Regulated degradation of signaling pathway components Loss of p62 interactions with proteins that should be degraded dysregulates pathways
Dishevelled protein not degraded will increase Wnt signaling Wei (2012)
cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase-4A4 (PDE4A4) not degraded augments cAMP signaling Ma et al. (2019)
Autophagic cargo recognition Cargo tagged for autophagic clearance is not recognized, p62 accumulates Martinez-Vincente et al. (2010)
Signaling pathways
mTORC1 Overexpression of p62 causes hyperactivation of mTORC1, leading to tumorigenesis Duran et al. (2011)
Cellular localization
Nucleus/cytoplasmic partitioning p62 mislocalized from the nucleus leads to decreased nuclear UPS/proteostasis Fu et al. (2021)
Trafficking of aggregates HDAC6 needs tubulin for trafficking, p62 accumulates if aggregates are not delivered to AP formation site McEwan and Dikic (2011)
Trafficking of autophagosomes (AP) p62 accumulates in APs if not delivered to LY
Trafficking of lysosomes (LY) p62 accumulates in APs if LY cannot localize and fuse with AP
