Function of CSNK2/CK2 selectively affects the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus in mtor-mediated autophagy induction.

Selective macroautophagy/autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum, known as reticulophagy/ER-phagy, is essential to maintain ER homeostasis. We recently showed that members of the autophagy receptor family RETREG/FAM134 are regulated by phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. In an unbiased screen we had identified several kinases downstream of MTOR with profound impact on reticulophagy flux, including ATR and CSNK2/CK2. Inhibition of CSNK2 by SGC-CK2-1 prevented regulatory ubiquitination of RETREG1/FAM134B and RETREG3/FAM134C upon autophagy activation as well as the formation of high-density RETREG1- and RETREG3-clusters. Here we report on additional resource data of global proteomics upon CSNK2 and ATR inhibition, respectively. Our data suggests that the function of CSNK2 is mainly limited to the ER/reticulophagy and Golgi/Golgiphagy, while ATR inhibition by VE-822 affects the vast majority of organelles/selective autophagy pathways.Abbreviation: ATRi: ATR inhibitor VE-822; CSNK2i: CSNK2 inhibitor SGC-CK2-1; ER: endoplasmic reticulum.
