Selective autophagy bears bone

Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a dynamic intracellular network responsible for folding and maturation of organellar and secreted proteins. Selective autophagy of ER (ER-phagy) is emerging as an essential process that maintains proteostasis in the ER and is regulated by growth conditions. In this issue, Cinque et al (2020) show that fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) specifically activates ER-phagy through a TFEB/TFE-dependent transcriptional regulation of the ER-phagy receptor Fam134b, a process essential for bone ossification and skeletal development.
