TRIM proteins regulate autophagy by modulating the MTOR complex, TFEB, ULK1-BECN1 complex, and MAP1LC3 conjugation. TRIM proteins regulate autophagy at various steps, including the activity of MTOR, TFEB, the BECN1-ULK1 complex, and the conjugation of MAP1LC3 to form MAP1LC3I and MAP1LC3II to form phagophores and autophagosomes. Autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes to form autolysosomes, which breakdown and recycle cargo materials and autophagosomes. Autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes to form autolysosomes, degrade cargo materials, and recycle.
