The class III PI(3)K Vps34 promotes autophagy and endocytosis but not TOR signaling in Drosophila [PDF]
Degradation of cytoplasmic components by autophagy requires the class III phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI(3)) – kinase Vps34, but the mechanisms by which this kinase and its lipid product PI(3) phosphate (PI(3)P) promote autophagy are unclear.

Phospholipid imbalance impairs autophagosome completion [PDF]
Autophagy, a conserved eukaryotic intracellular catabolic pathway, maintains cell homeostasis by lysosomal degradation of cytosolic material engulfed in double membrane vesicles termed autophagosomes, which form upon sealing of single‐membrane cisternae ...

Autophagy and the (pro)renin receptor
The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) is a newly reported member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS); a hormonal cascade responsible for regulating blood pressure.

The lipid flippase Drs2 regulates anterograde transport of Atg9 during autophagy
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved catabolic pathway during which cellular material is sequestered within newly formed double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes and delivered to the lytic compartment of eukaryotic cells for degradation ...

Modeling Membrane Morphological Change during Autophagosome Formation [PDF]
Summary Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that is mediated by de novo formation of autophagosomes. Autophagosome formation involves dynamic morphological changes; a disk-shaped membrane cisterna grows, bends to become a cup-shaped ...

The Intriguing Life of Autophagosomes [PDF]
Autophagosomes are double-membrane vesicles characteristic of macroautophagy, a degradative pathway for cytoplasmic material and organelles terminating in the lysosomal or vacuole compartment for mammals and yeast, respectively. This highly dynamic, multi-step process requires significant membrane reorganization events at different stages of the ...

The Impact of Aging on Macroautophagy in the Pre-ovulatory Mouse Oocyte
Accompanying the precipitous age-related decline in human female fertility is an increase in the proportion of poor-quality oocytes within the ovary. The macroautophagy pathway, an essential protein degradation mechanism responsible for maintaining cell ...

Membrane remodeling by the PX-BAR protein SNX18 promotes autophagosome formation [PDF]
The membrane remodeling events required for autophagosome biogenesis are still poorly understood. Because PX domain proteins mediate membrane remodeling and trafficking, we conducted an imaging-based siRNA screen for autophagosome formation targeting ...

Reconstitution reveals Ykt6 as the autophagosomal SNARE in autophagosome–vacuole fusion [PDF]
Autophagy mediates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic material, particularly during starvation. Upon the induction of autophagy, autophagosomes form a sealed membrane around cargo, fuse with a lytic compartment, and release the cargo for degradation.
