Abstract excerpt
The proper functioning of eukaryotic organelles is largely dependent on the specific packaging of cargo proteins within transient delivery vesicles. The cytoplasm to vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway is an autophagy-related trafficking pathway whose cargo proteins, aminopeptidase I and alpha-mannosidase, are selectively transported from the cytoplasm to the lysosome-like vacuole in yeast. This study elucidates a...
