Chaperone-mediated autophagy as a modulator of aging and longevity
2 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is the lysosomal degradation of individually selected proteins, independent of vesicle fusion. CMA is a central part of the proteostasis network in vertebrate cells. However, CMA is also a negative regulator of anabolism, and it degrades enzymes required for glycolysis, de novo lipogenesis, and translation at the cytoplasmic ribosome. Recently, CMA has gained attention as a...
