Mst1 inhibits autophagy by promoting the interaction between Beclin1 and Bcl-2

Y Maejima, S Kyoi, P Zhai, T Liu, H Li, A Ivessa… - Nature medicine, 2013 - nature.com
Here we show that Mst1, a proapoptotic kinase, impairs protein quality control mechanisms
in the heart through inhibition of autophagy. Stress-induced activation of Mst1 in …
