Molecular mechanism of autophagy in yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract excerpt

Bulk degradation of cytosol and organelles is important for cellular homeostasis under nutrient limitation, cell differentiation and development. This process occurs in a lytic compartment, and autophagy is the major route to the lysosome and/or vacuole. We found that yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, induces autophagy under various starvation conditions. The whole process is essentially the same as macroautophagy...
