<i>ATG</i>Genes Involved in Non-Selective Autophagy are Conserved from Yeast to Man, but the Selective Cvt and Pexophagy Pathways also Require Organism-Specific Genes
27 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
ATG genes encode proteins that are required for macroautophagy, the Cvt pathway and/or pexophagy. Using the published Atg protein sequences, we have screened protein and DNA databases to identify putative functional homologs (orthologs) in 21 fungal species (yeast and filamentous fungi) of which the genome sequences were available. For comparison with Atg proteins in higher eukaryotes, also an analysis of...
