The Autophagy Machinery in Human-Parasitic Protists; Diverse Functions for Universally Conserved Proteins
19 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a eukaryotic cellular machinery that is able to degrade large intracellular components, including organelles, and plays a pivotal role in cellular homeostasis. Target materials are enclosed by a double membrane vesicle called autophagosome, whose formation is coordinated by autophagy-related proteins (ATGs). Studies of yeast and Metazoa have identified approximately 40 ATGs. Genome projects for...
