Autophagy, cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting pathway, and pexophagy in yeast and mammalian cells.
Annual review of biochemistry - 1 Jan 2000
Kim J, Klionsky D J
Abstract excerpt
The sequestration and delivery of cytoplasmic material to the yeast vacuole and mammalian lysosome require the dynamic mobilization of cellular membranes and specialized protein machinery. Under nutrient deprivation conditions, double-membrane vesicles form around bulk cytoplasmic cargo destined for degradation and recycling in the vacuole/lysosome. A similar process functions to remove excess organelles under...
