Structural and functional analyses of APG5, a gene involved in autophagy in yeast.
Analyses of APG13 gene involved in autophagy in yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
AUT 1 , a Gene Essential for Autophagocytosis in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TLDR
Deletion of the AUT1 gene had no obvious influence on secretion, fluid phase endocytosis, or vacuolar protein sorting, which supports the idea of autophagocytotic as being a novel route transporting proteins from the cytoplasm to the vacuole.
Starvation Induced Cell Death in Autophagy-Defective Yeast Mutants Is Caused by Mitochondria Dysfunction
TLDR
Under starvation conditions non-selective autophagy, rather than mitophagy plays an essential role in preventing ROS accumulation, and thus in maintaining mitochondria function, and the failure of response to starvation is the major cause of cell death in atg mutants.
AUT1, a gene essential for autophagocytosis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TLDR
Deletion of the AUT1 gene had no obvious influence on secretion, fluid phase endocytosis, or vacuolar protein sorting, which supports the idea of autophagocytotic as being a novel route transporting proteins from the cytoplasm to the vacuole.
Autophagy and the cvt Pathway Both Depend onAUT9
TLDR
The AUT9 gene is identified and characterized, which is allelic with CVT7.
Autophagy-deficient Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants undergo partial sporulation during nitrogen starvation.
TLDR
It is shown that processing of GFP-tagged Atg8 can serve as a marker for autophagy in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and evidence for the existence of a recycling system for nitrogen sources during starvation is sought.
An ARL1 mutation affected autophagic cell death in yeast, causing a defect in central vacuole formation
TLDR
The ARL1 gene plays an important role in the formation of central vacuoles and in the progression of programmed cell death induced by cell-cycle arrest or Bax, suggesting the presence of a programmed-cell death machinery in yeast that is similar to that related to the Type II cell death of mammalian cells characterized by autophagocytosis.
AUT3, a serine/threonine kinase gene, is essential for autophagocytosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Autophagocytosis is a starvation-induced process, carrying proteins destined for degradation to the lysosome. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the autophagic process is visualized by the…

Autophagy in yeast demonstrated with proteinase-deficient mutants and conditions for its induction
TLDR
Accumulation of autophagic bodies in the vacuoles was induced not only by nitrogen starvation, but also by depletion of nutrients such as carbon and single amino acids that caused cessation of the cell cycle.

Lysosomal (vacuolar) proteinases of yeast are essential catalysts for protein degradation, differentiation, and cell survival.
Genetic Control of the Cell Division Cycle in Yeast: V. Genetic Analysis of cdc Mutants.
TLDR
The gene products that are defined by the cdc cistrons are essential for the completion of the cell cycle in haploids of a and alpha mating type and in a/alpha diploid cells and the same genes control thecell cycle in each of these stages of the life cycle.
Protease B of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: isolation and regulation of the PRB1 structural gene.
TLDR
It is suggested that proteolytic processing steps beyond that thought to be catalyzed by protease A may be required to convert the initial glycosylated translation product into mature protease B.
Multiple methods of visualizing the yeast vacuole permit evaluation of its morphology and inheritance during the cell cycle
TLDR
It is proposed that vacuolar segregation is accomplished by vesicular traffic between the parent cell and the bud, and in ade2 yeast, the bud usually inherits a substantial portion of its vacuole contents from the mother cell.
Nonselective autophagy of cytosolic enzymes by isolated rat hepatocytes
TLDR
The experiments suggest that sequestration and degradation of normal cytosolic proteins by the autophagic-lysosomal pathway is a nonselective bulk process, and that nonautophagic mechanisms must be invoked to account for differential enzyme turnover.

Structure and function of the yeast vacuolar membrane proton ATPase
TLDR
Cloning of structural genes for the three subunits of the H+-ATPase (VMA1, VMA2, andVMA3) and their nucleotide sequence determination have been accomplished, which provide greater advantages for molecular biological studies on the structure-function relationship and biogenesis of the enzyme complex.
