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.
AUT 1 , a Gene Essential for Autophagocytosis in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
- Biology
- 1997
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

A mutant of yeast lacking proteinase C (carboxypeptidase Y) activity has been found by using a histochemical stain to screen mutagenized colonies, consistent with the idea that other enzymes exist in vivo with overlapping substrate specificities.
