Autophagy in the fission yeast <i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</i>

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is a non-selective degradation process in eukaryotic cells. The genome sequence of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has revealed that many of the genes required for autophagy are common between the fission yeast and budding yeast, suggesting that the basic machinery of autophagy is conserved between these species. Autophagy in fission yeast is specifically induced by nitrogen starvation based...
