A New Anatomy of Autophagic Clearance: On the Roles of Intrinsic Disorder in the Membrane-Less on Membrane-Encapsulated Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yesMembranes
Autophagy is a carefully regulated catabolic process that utilizes assemblies of specific sets of macromolecules operating at multiple stages of the pathway.

An inhibitory role of the G-protein regulator AGS3 in mTOR-dependent macroautophagy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Macroautophagy is a cellular process whereby the cell sequesters and recycles cytosolic constituents in a lysosome-dependent manner. It has also been implicated in a number of disorders, including cancer and neurodegeneration.

Canonical and Non-Canonical Functions of the Autophagy Machinery in MHC Restricted Antigen Presentation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Macroautophagy delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation. Since major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules sample peptides after lysosomal degradation for presentation to CD4+ T cells, it was originally described that ...

Characteristics of macroautophagy and molecular chaperone-mediated autophagy in oxidative stress injury of endothelial cells

open access: yes陆军军医大学学报, 2022
Objective To explore the characteristics of macroautophagy and molecular chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in the oxidative stress injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

Macroautophagy and Mitophagy in Neurodegenerative Disorders: Focus on Therapeutic Interventions

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
Macroautophagy, a quality control mechanism, is an evolutionarily conserved pathway of lysosomal degradation of protein aggregates, pathogens, and damaged organelles.

Coordinate regulation of mature dopaminergic axon morphology by macroautophagy and the PTEN signaling pathway. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Macroautophagy is a conserved mechanism for the bulk degradation of proteins and organelles. Pathological studies have implicated defective macroautophagy in neurodegeneration, but physiological functions of macroautophagy in adult neurons remain unclear.

Francisella tularensis harvests nutrients derived via ATG5-independent autophagy to support intracellular growth. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
Francisella tularensis is a highly virulent intracellular pathogen that invades and replicates within numerous host cell types including macrophages, hepatocytes and pneumocytes. By 24 hours post invasion, F.

Macroautophagy abnormality in essential tremor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Macroautophagy is a cellular mechanism for the clearance of protein aggregates and damaged organelles. Impaired macroautophagy has been observed in neurodegenerative disorders.

Macroautophagy and normal aging of the nervous system: Lessons from animal models

open access: yesCell Stress, 2021
Aging represents a cumulative form of cellular stress, which is thought to challenge many aspects of proteostasis. The non-dividing, long-lived neurons are particularly vulnerable to stress, and, not sur-prisingly, even normal aging is highly associated ...

Non-canonical Functions of Macroautophagy Proteins During Endocytosis by Myeloid Antigen Presenting Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Endocytosis by myeloid antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages regulates both antigen processing and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule trafficking during antigen presentation.
