NBR1 acts as an autophagy receptor for peroxisomes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Selective macro-autophagy is an intracellular process by which large cytoplasmic materials are selectively sequestered and degraded in the lysosomes. Substrate selection is mediated by ubiquitylation and recruitment of ubiquitin-binding autophagic receptors such as p62, NBR1, NDP52 and Optineurin. Although it has been shown that these receptors act cooperatively to target some types of substrates to nascent autophagosomes, their precise roles are not well understood. We examined selective autophagic degradation of peroxisomes (pexophagy), and found that NBR1 is necessary and sufficient for pexophagy. Mutagenesis studies of NBR1 showed that the amphipathic α-helical J domain, the ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain, the LC3-interacting region and the coiled-coil domain are necessary to mediate pexophagy. Strikingly, substrate selectivity is partly achieved by NBR1 itself by coincident binding of the J and UBA domains to peroxisomes. Although p62 is not required when NBR1 is in excess, its binding to NBR1 increases the efficiency of NBR1-mediated pexophagy. Together, these results suggest that NBR1 is the specific autophagy receptor for pexophagy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
