Autophagy and Related processes in Trypanosomatids: Insights from Genomic and Bioinformatic Analyses
4 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The targeting in eukaryotic cells of cellular components to the lysosome or vacuole for degradation is called autophagy. Not only cytoplasmic macromolecules and bulk cytoplasm are subject to this process; entire organelles such as peroxisomes can be degraded. Autophagy of peroxisomes is called pexophagy. Unpublished evidence suggests that the analogous processing of glycosomes in the protozoan kinetoplastids...
