Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a major survival mechanism for eukaryotes to recycle cellular nutrients during stress conditions (such as nutrient limitation, or the accumulation of damaged organelles). We recently revealed a molecular mechanism by which Atg22 recycles amino acids to link the degradative and recycling functions of autophagy. Atg22 is not directly required for autophagic body breakdown, in contrast to previously...
