FoxO3 controls dangerous proteolytic liaisons.
FoxO3 regulates the transcription of critical components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in muscle wasting. Two reports (Mammucari et al., 2007; Zhao et al., 2007) now implicate FoxO3 in the transcription of autophagy-related genes and provide the first direct evidence for a coordinated role of autophagy in muscle atrophy.
