Autophagy-independent function of Atg8 in lipid droplet dynamics in yeast.

Journal of biochemistry - 1 Apr 2017

Maeda Yuichiro, Oku Masahide, Sakai Yasuyoshi

Abstract excerpt

Dynamic features of lipid droplets include growth and degradation of the organelle. Autophagy, a system for the transport of cytoplasmic components to be degraded into the lysosome/vacuole, is regarded to be responsible for the degradation of lipid droplets. Atg8 protein in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is recruited to membrane structures synthesized during autophagy via a lipidation process. In this study,...
