p62/SQSTM1 is a scaffolding protein that interacts with various signaling molecules such as TRAF6, RIP, and aPKC. p62 contains an LC3-interacting region and is believed to be a substrate for selective autophagy. In addition, p62 contains a domain that binds ubiquitin chains, and mediates the recruitment of poly ubiquitinated protein aggregates and depolarized mitochondria to the autophagic machinery. In fact, in liver- and brain-specific autophagy-deficient mice, overaccumulation of p62 occurs, and ubiquitin- and p62-positive inclusion bodies are observed. Importantly, ubiquitin- and p62-positive inclusion bodies are also observed in tissues of patients with neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), alcoholic hepatitis, hepatic steatosis, and liver cancer. There is increasing interest in the involvement of impaired autophagic degradation of p62 in these diseases.
