Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy is a catabolic membrane trafficking phenomenon that is observed in all eukaryotic cells in response to various stimuli, such as nitrogen starvation and challenge with specific hormones. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the induction of autophagy involves a direct signal transduction mechanism that affects membrane dynamics. In this system, the induction process modifies a constitutive...
