Pexophagy. The Selective Autophagy of Peroxisomes [PDF]
Pichia pastoris and Hansenula polymorpha are methylotrophic yeasts capable of utilizing methanol, as a sole source of carbon and energy. Growth of these yeast species on methanol requires the synthesis of cytosolic and peroxisomal enzymes combined with ...

The Peroxisome-Autophagy Redox Connection: A Double-Edged Sword?
Peroxisomes harbor numerous enzymes that can produce or degrade hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Depending on its local concentration and environment, this oxidant can function as a redox signaling molecule or cause stochastic oxidative damage. Currently, it is

Tankyrase‐2 regulates adipocyte differentiation through AMPK/mTOR signaling
Tankyrase 2 (TNKS2), a PARP family member, underpins adipocyte differentiation. TNKS2 controls LKB1 protein level, and consequently, the activity of the mTOR/AMPK system and adipocyte differentiation through a layered process. Pharmacological inhibition of TNKS2 leaves other PARPs and DNA repair active and therefore represents a novel target in ...

ABSTRACT Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) contains abundant flavonoid glycosides (FGs), which are important natural functional and colour components. However, there are few reports on the modification of UDP‐glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in relation to flavonoids in carnation.

The Dual Role of Autophagy in Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies
Autophagy is a conserved cellular process degrading dysfunctional organelles and protein aggregates to maintain cell homeostasis, and it exhibits context‐dependent duality in cancer. Autophagy functions as a critical tumor‐suppressive mechanism by preventing DNA damage and mutation during tumor initiation.

Oxidative Stress‐Related Programmed Cell Death in Male Infertility: Focussing on Ferroptosis
ABSTRACT Oxidative stress is a common occurrence in testicular cells of infertile men and is considered a significant cause of male reproductive dysfunction. The increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to impaired spermatogenesis by activating caspases and generating free radicals from mitochondria, resulting in DNA damage and cell death ...

Catalase inhibition induces pexophagy through ROS accumulation
Peroxisomes are dynamic and multifunctional organelles involved in various cellular metabolic processes, and their numbers are tightly regulated by pexophagy, a selective degradation of peroxisomes through autophagy to maintain peroxisome homeostasis in ...

Pyridoxal (PL) exhibits the strongest anti‐tumor activity within the vitamin B6 family, demonstrating significant ovarian cancer cell‐killing efficacy in vivo, in vitro, and in patient‐derived organoid (PDO) models. The anti‐tumor mechanism involves PL inducing a shift in peroxisome dynamics towards fission, promoting peroxisome proliferation, and ...

Peroxisome and pexophagy in neurological diseases
Peroxisomes and pexophagy have gained increasing attention in their role within the central nervous system (CNS) in recent years. In this review, we comprehensively discussed the physiological and pathological mechanisms of peroxisomes and pexophagy in ...
