Atg21 Is Required for Effective Recruitment of Atg8 to the Preautophagosomal Structure during the Cvt Pathway
15 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Atg21 and Atg18 are homologue yeast proteins. Whereas Atg18 is essential for the Cvt pathway and autophagy, a lack of Atg21 only blocks the Cvt pathway. Our proteinase protection experiments now demonstrate that growing atg21Delta cells fail to form proaminopeptidase I-containing Cvt vesicles. Quantitative measurement of autophagy in starving atg21Delta cells showed only 35% of the wild-type rate. This suggests...
