RTN3L and CALCOCO1 function in parallel to maintain proteostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum

Reticulophagy is mediated by autophagy receptors that function in one of the two domains of the ER, tubules or flat sheets. Three different conserved mammalian receptors mediate autophagy in ER tubules: RTN3L, ATL3 and CALCOCO1. Previous studies have shown that RTN3L maintains proteostasis by targeting mutant aggregation-prone proteins for autophagy at distinct foci in ER tubules that we named ERPHS (
