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.

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 plays an important role in cell growth and development. The autophagy-related gene atg4 encodes a cysteine protease, which can cleave the carboxyl terminus of Atg8, thus plays a role in autophagosome formation in yeast and filamentous fungi ...

ATG5 is essential for ATG8-dependent autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis in Leishmania major [PDF]
Macroautophagy has been shown to be important for the cellular remodelling required for Leishmania differentiation. We now demonstrate that L. major contains a functional ATG12-ATG5 conjugation system, which is required for ATG8-dependent autophagosome ...

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

Around-the-Clock Noise Induces AD-like Neuropathology by Disrupting Autophagy Flux Homeostasis
Environmental noise is a common hazard in military operations. Military service members during long operations are often exposed to around-the-clock noise and suffer massive emotional and cognitive dysfunction related to an Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like ...

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.

Origin of the Autophagosomal Membrane in Plants
During autophagy, cargo molecules destined for degradation are sequestrated into a double membrane structure called autophagosome, which subsequently fuses with the vacuole.

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.
