Autophagy in Drosophila : from historical studies to current knowledge [PDF]
, 2014 The discovery of evolutionarily conserved Atg genes required for autophagy in yeast truly revolutionized this research field, and made it possible to carry out functional studies in model organisms.

Nature Communications, 2019 Autophagy adaptors and receptors contain LC3-interacting region (LIR) motifs that bind selectively to the LIR docking site of GABARAP and other members of the ATG8 family. Here the authors show that in addition to the LIR motif also the region C-terminal

BioMetals, 2014 Autophagy is a highly conserved degradative process through which cells overcome stressful conditions. Inasmuch as faulty autophagy has been associated with aging, neuronal degeneration disorders, diabetes, and fatty liver, autophagy is regarded as a potential therapeutic target. This review summarizes the present state of knowledge concerning the role

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential
Cell Discovery, 2021 Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane.

Dysregulation of autophagy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia with the small-molecule Sirtuin inhibitor Tenovin-6 [PDF]
, 2013 The authors acknowledge TENOVUS Tayside for funding the studyTenovin-6 (Tnv-6) is a bioactive small molecule with anti-neoplastic activity. Inhibition of the Sirtuin class of protein deacetylases with activation of p53 function is associated with the pro-

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2010 Autophagy is a key cytoplasmic biomass and organellar quality and quantity control pathway of the eukaryotic cell. It is particularly suited to capture and degrade large, multi-macromolecular cytosplasmic targets earmarked for degradation or turnover.

Autophagy and Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Autophagy, 2006 The proteasome and lysosome are sophisticated apparatuses capable of shredding unnecessary proteins in eukaryotic cells. The proteasome and its partner ubiquitin (which functions as a destination signal for proteolysis) play crucial roles in selective breakdown of not only short-lived regulatory proteins but also abnormal proteins that need to be ...
