micropexophagy

Autophagy-related (Atg) pathways deliver cytosol and organelles to the vacuole in double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes… Expand

Pexophagy is a selective autophagy process wherein damaged and/or superfluous peroxisomes undergo vacuolar degradation. In… Expand

The attachment of a sugar moiety to the 3-hydroxy group of a sterol drastically increases the size of the hydrophilic part of the… Expand

Autophagy, an intrinsically nonselective process, can also target selective cargo for degradation. The mechanism of selective… Expand

Autophagy is a diverse family of processes that transport cytoplasm and organelles into the lysosome/vacuole lumen for… Expand

Vac8 is a yeast vacuolar membrane protein involved in vacuolar membrane dynamics, e.g., vacuole inheritance and vacuolar membrane… Expand

Many organisms stringently regulate the number, volume and enzymatic content of peroxisomes (and other organelles). Understanding… Expand

Microautophagy is a versatile process in which vacuolar or lysosomal membranes directly sequester cytosolic targets for… Expand

Fungal sterol glucosyltransferases, which synthesize sterol glucoside (SG), contain a GRAM domain as well as a pleckstrin… Expand

BACKGROUND In the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, peroxisomes can be selectively degraded through direct engulfment by the… Expand
