ULK1 in autophagy: sugar it up
Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular degradation and recycling process in mammalian cells, which is comprised of three main types: microautophagy, macroautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA).

Lipid droplets in stress protection: distinct mechanisms of lipid droplet microautophagy
Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that function as sites for lipid storage. LDs have also been implicated in the cellular response to proteotoxic or lipotoxic stress as sites for sequestering dysfunctional or excess proteins or lipids, and targeting ...

Eating Locally: Microautophagy and Protein Turnover at the Synapse [PDF]
Mechanisms of local protein quality control in the presynaptic nerve terminal remain largely unknown. In this issue of Neuron, Uytterhoeven et al. (2015) describe a form of synaptic endosomal microautophagy controlling protein rejuvenation, critical for ...

Sucrose Starvation Induces Microautophagy in Plant Root Cells
Autophagy is an essential system for degrading and recycling cellular components for survival during starvation conditions. Under sucrose starvation, application of a papain protease inhibitor E-64d to the Arabidopsis root and tobacco BY-2 cells induced ...

Microautophagy in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Microautophagy involves direct invagination and fission of the vacuolar/lysosomal membrane under nutrient limitation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae microautophagic uptake of soluble cytosolic proteins occurs via an autophagic tube, a highly specialized ...
