Pexophagy: A Model for Selective Autophagy

open access: yes, 2020
The removal of damaged or superfluous organelles from the cytosol by selective autophagy is required to maintain organelle function, quality control and overall cellular homeostasis.

Autophagy Inhibitors Do Not Restore Peroxisomal Functions in Cells With the Most Common Peroxisome Biogenesis Defect

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Peroxisome biogenesis disorders within the Zellweger spectrum (PBD-ZSDs) are most frequently associated with the c.2528G>A (p.G843D) mutation in the PEX1 gene (PEX1-G843D), which results in impaired import of peroxisomal matrix proteins and ...

The Mechanism of Mammalian Pexophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The mechanism of mammalian pexophagy is poorly understood. Although ubiquitination is thought to be involved in the process, the upstream and downstream effectors of ubiquitination remain elusive.

PEX13 prevents pexophagy by regulating ubiquitinated PEX5 and peroxisomal ROS

open access: yes, 2022
Peroxisomes are rapidly degraded during amino acid and oxygen deprivation by a type of selective autophagy called pexophagy. However, how damaged peroxisomes are detected and removed from the cell is poorly understood.

Enhancement of xylanase expression by Komagataella phaffii through pexophagy inhibition

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
Xylanase is widely used in agriculture and food industry. To increase heterologous xylanase expression by Komagataella phaffii under the condition of mixed carbon source feeding, the atg30 gene was knocked out from this yeast to inhibit pexophagy for ...

Autophagy as a Survival Strategy for Eukaryotic Microbes Living in the Phyllosphere

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that is highly conserved among eukaryotes at the molecular level. The process was originally revealed in the budding yeast, but the physiological role of autophagy in yeast cells had remained unknown as ...

A mammalian pexophagy target

open access: yes, 2015
Protein ubiquitylation in mammals is known to trigger selective autophagy of peroxisomes through a process termed pexophagy. The physiological peroxisomal target for pexophagy-related ubiquitylation has been controversial, but two studies have now ...

Delineating transitions during the evolution of specialised peroxisomes: Glycosome formation in kinetoplastid and diplonemid protists

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
One peculiarity of protists belonging to classes Kinetoplastea and Diplonemea within the phylum Euglenozoa is compartmentalisation of most glycolytic enzymes within peroxisomes that are hence called glycosomes.

Pexophagy suppresses ROS-induced damage in leaf cells under high-intensity light

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Pexophagy plays a pivotal role in the selective removal of ROS-generating peroxisomes, which protects plants from oxidative damage during photosynthesis under high-intensity light.

The peroxisomal exportomer directly inhibits phosphoactivation of the pexophagy receptor Atg36 to suppress pexophagy in yeast

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Autophagy receptor (or adaptor) proteins facilitate lysosomal destruction of various organelles in response to cellular stress, including nutrient deprivation. To what extent membrane-resident autophagy receptors also respond to organelle-restricted cues
