Abstract excerpt
When the cdc28 strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is incubated at restrictive temperatures, the yeasts digest themselves in 7 days by activating autophagic machinery. In parallel, the cell-proliferative activity decreases progressively after about 48 h. We have previously referred to this phenomenon as autophagic death. In the present study, we isolated and characterized a recessive mutant strain, dlp2, which...
