Autophagy

1996
Autophagy or autophagocytosis are terms given to a membrane-mediated process in eukaryotic cells in which portions of cytoplasm are sequestered within vacuoles and degraded by acid hydrolases that are acquired by fusion with lysosomes. Although vacuoles of this type may be formed under pathologic conditions, autophagy is fundamentally a physiologic ...

Proteases in autophagy

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2012
Autophagy is a process involved in the proteolytic degradation of cellular macromolecules in lysosomes, which requires the activity of proteases, enzymes that hydrolyse peptide bonds and play a critical role in the initiation and execution of autophagy. Importantly, proteases also inhibit autophagy in certain cases.

Autophagy in atherosclerosis

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2008
Autophagy is a catabolic pathway for bulk destruction of long-lived proteins and organelles via lysosomes. Basal autophagy represents a reparative, life-sustaining process, but unrestrained autophagic activity promotes cell death. A growing body of evidence suggests that autophagy occurs in advanced atherosclerotic plaques. Vascular smooth muscle cells,

A NOD for autophagy

Nature Medicine, 2010
Susceptibility to Crohn's disease has been linked to polymorphisms in genes involved in two pathophysiological pathways: autophagy and the recognition of bacterial peptidoglycan by nucleotide oligomerization domain-2 (NOD2), an intracellular receptor.

Assays for Autophagy II: Mitochondrial Autophagy

2014
Autophagy is a bulk degradation process of cytosolic proteins and organelles through the lysosomal/vacuolar machinery. Mitophagy is a type of autophagy that selectively degrades mitochondria. Recent studies have revealed that mitophagy plays an important role in cellular mitochondrial quality control.

Autophagy in Huntington disease and huntingtin in autophagy

Trends in Neurosciences, 2015
Autophagy is an important biological process that is essential for the removal of damaged organelles and toxic or aggregated proteins by delivering them to the lysosome for degradation. Consequently, autophagy has become a primary target for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases that involve aggregating proteins.

Autophagy and neurodegeneration

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2007
All cellular components are subjected to continuous surveillance by intracellular quality control systems. The major players involved in this quality control are molecular chaperones, which detect the abnormal components, and proteases, which eliminate them from the cell.
