Induction of autophagy in ESCRT mutants is an adaptive response for cell survival in C. elegans.

Abstract excerpt

Endosomes and autophagosomes are two vesicular compartments involved in the degradation and recycling of cellular material. They both undergo a maturation process and finally fuse with the lysosome. In mammals, the convergence between endosomes and autophagosomes is a multistep process that can generate intermediate vesicles named amphisomes. Using knockdowns and mutants of the ESCRT machinery (ESCRT-0-ESCRT-III,...
