Pexophagy-linked degradation of the peroxisomal membrane protein Pex3p involves the ubiquitin–proteasome system [PDF]
Peroxisome autophagy, also known as pexophagy, describes the wholesale degradation of peroxisomes via the vacuole, when organelles become damaged or redundant.

Mining Alzheimer's Interactomes, Macromolecular Complexes and Pathways for Drug Discovery
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to dementia. Many cases are diagnosed annually and there is no currently available cure. Understanding the underlying disease biology of AD through the study of molecular networks, particularly by mapping clinical variants to tissue‐specific interactomes and ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Inhibition of autophagy as a novel treatment for neurofibromatosis type 1 tumors
We used synthetic lethal screens to find new approaches to treat neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) tumors. Inhibition of autophagy was identified as a robust method to selectively kill NF1‐deficient cells with minimal effects on healthy cells. Following assessment of a range of autophagy inhibitors, we determined that chloroquine has strong potential for ...

Autophagy Stimulus-Dependent Role of the Small GTPase Ras2 in Peroxisome Degradation
The changing accessibility of nutrient resources induces the reprogramming of cellular metabolism in order to adapt the cell to the altered growth conditions. The nutrient-depending signaling depends on the kinases mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin),

ABSTRACT We previously developed a genome engineering method (TAQing2.0) based on the direct delivery of DNA endonucleases into living cells, which induces genome rearrangements even in non‐sporulating nonconventional yeasts without introducing foreign DNA.

Investigation of pexophagy and autophagy occurrence in Arabidopsis
Peroxisomes are critical organelles, housing various essential processes conserved across multicellular organisms. Most notable reactions include fatty-acid -oxidation and the detoxification of reactive oxygen species generated as byproducts from diverse

The Mechanism of Mammalian Pexophagy
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.
