Autophagy - 1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt
The proton pumping activity of V-ATPase is responsible for acidification of the lysosome/vacuole. The low lumenal pH of this organelle stimulates the activity of a battery of resident hydrolases responsible for the degradation of various nonselective and selective cargos delivered by autophagic processes. However, the role of V-ATPase in membrane dynamics required for the uptake of autophagic cargo is far from...
