Autophagosome formation in mammalian cells.
TLDR
Identification and characterization of the mammalian counterparts of the yeast autophagy proteins has facilitated understanding of mammalian autophapy, particularly of autophagosome formation, and these findings are now being applied to studies on the physiological roles of Autophagy in mammals.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae--a model organism for the studies on vacuolar transport.
TLDR
An overview of the current knowledge of vesicle mediated vacuolar transport in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells is provided.

TLDR
The function of vacuolar (lysosomal) proteolysis was elucidated and the in vivo role of ubiquitin and its relation to the proteasome was uncovered, providing surprising new insights in cellular control in health and disease.

TLDR
In this review, starvation‐induced autophagy and its relationship to the specific cytoplasm to vacuole targeting (cvt‐) pathway of proaminopeptidase I is discussed and the specific vacuolar uptake and degradation of peroxisomes in Pichia pastoris cells via micro‐ and macroautophagy is discussed.
Turnover of organelles by autophagy in yeast.
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.
The Core Molecular Machinery of Autophagosome Formation
TLDR
This chapter summarizes knowledge about the roles and regulation of these core machinery components in autophagosome formation, in both yeast and mammalian systems.

Regulated import and degradation of a cytosolic protein in the yeast vacuole
TLDR
The key regulatory enzyme in gluconeogenesis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is subject to glucose-stimulated proteolytic degradation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and may regulate the production of an FBPase receptor or import factor that is transported to the vacuole through the secretory pathway.
Vacuolar/lysosomal proteolysis: proteases, substrates, mechanisms.
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.

Biogenesis of the yeast vacuole (lysosome). Mutation in the active site of the vacuolar serine proteinase yscB abolishes proteolytic maturation of its 73-kDa precursor to the 41.5-kDa pro-enzyme and a newly detected 41-kDa peptide.
TLDR
It is found that, in addition to pro-PrB, a distinct protein (superpeptide) with a mobility of about 41 kDa in SDS/PAGE is generated in the endoplasmic reticulum, and Pulse-chase experiments indicate rapid degradation of the 41-kDa superpeptides in wild-type cells.
Biogenesis of the yeast vacuole (lysosome). Proteinase yscB contributes molecularly and kinetically to vacuolar hydrolase-precursor maturation.
TLDR
A molecular and kinetic participation of proteinase yscB in vacuolar hydrolase precursor maturation is indicated and is shown to trigger maturation of its 42-kDa pro-PrB precursor to mature PrB in the absence of PrA.
