LC3/GABARAP family proteins: autophagy‐(un)related functions
6 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
From yeast to mammals, autophagy is an important mechanism for sustaining cellular homeostasis through facilitating the degradation and recycling of aged and cytotoxic components. During autophagy, cargo is captured in double-membraned vesicles, the autophagosomes, and degraded through lysosomal fusion. In yeast, autophagy initiation, cargo recognition, cargo engulfment, and vesicle closure is Atg8 dependent. In...
