The Selectivity and Specificity of Autophagy in Drosophila [PDF]

Cells, 2012
Autophagy is a process of cellular self-degradation and is a major pathway for elimination of cytoplasmic material by the lysosomes. Autophagy is responsible for the degradation of damaged organelles and protein aggregates and therefore plays a ...

Receptor Proteins in Selective Autophagy [PDF]

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2012
Autophagy has long been thought to be an essential but unselective bulk degradation pathway. However, increasing evidence suggests selective autophagosomal turnover of a broad range of substrates.

Selective Autophagy by Close Encounters of the Ubiquitin Kind [PDF]

Cells, 2020
Autophagy, a bulk degradation process within eukaryotic cells, is responsible for cellular turnover and nutrient liberation during starvation. Increasing evidence indicate that this process can be extremely discerning.

Herpesvirus Regulation of Selective Autophagy [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Selective autophagy has emerged as a key mechanism of quality and quantity control responsible for the autophagic degradation of specific subcellular organelles and materials.

Targeting selective autophagy and beyond: From underlying mechanisms to potential therapies [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Research
Background: Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved turnover process for intracellular substances in eukaryotes, relying on lysosomal (in animals) or vacuolar (in yeast and plants) mechanisms.

Upregulated pexophagy limits the capacity of selective autophagy [PDF]

Nature Communications
Selective autophagy is an essential process to maintain cellular homeostasis through the constant recycling of damaged or superfluous components. Over a dozen selective autophagy pathways mediate the degradation of diverse cellular substrates, but ...
