TLDR
The discovery of autophagy in yeast and the genetic tractability of this organism have allowed us to identify genes that are responsible for this process, which has led to the explosive growth of this research field seen today.Abstract:
Autophagy is a fundamental function of eukaryotic cells and is well conserved from yeast to humans. The most remarkable feature of autophagy is the synthesis of double membrane-bound compartments that sequester materials to be degraded in lytic compartments, a process that seems to be mechanistically distinct from conventional membrane traffic. The discovery of autophagy in yeast and the genetic tractability of this organism have allowed us to identify genes that are responsible for this process, which has led to the explosive growth of this research field seen today. Analyses of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins have unveiled dynamic and diverse aspects of mechanisms that underlie membrane formation during autophagy.read more

Hypoxia enhances IL-10-producing B cell generation through upregulating high-mobility group B1 on tumor cell-released autophagosomes.
Yue Zhang,Ning Pan,Yemeng Sheng,Meng Zhou,Zhifa Wen,Yongqiang Chen,Fang Huang,Li-Xin Wang,Li-Xin Wang +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that HMGB1 on TRAPs from human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 played a significant role in IL-10-producing B cell induction, indicating the role ofTRAPs as a messenger of hypoxic response to enhance immunosuppression in tumor microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitophagy is involved in chromium (VI)-induced mitochondria damage in DF-1 cells
TL;DR: It is found that different durations of Cr (VI) treatment induced mitochondrial mass decrease and depolarization and may therefore lead to the autophagic clearance of mitochondria.

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Protects Against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Myocardial Injury by Suppressing Mitophagy
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniparental mitochondrial DNA inheritance is not affected in Ustilago maydis Δatg11 mutants blocked in mitophagy
TL;DR: This study suggests that selective autophagy does not contribute to UPI in U. maydis, but is rather a consequence of selective mtDNA elimination in response to mitochondrial damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal induction of BNIP3-mediated mitophagy slows systemic aging in Drosophila
TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that aging leads to a decline in mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) in the Drosophila brain with a concomitant increase in mitochondrial content.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the rat microtubule‐associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), a homologue of Apg8p essential for autophagy in yeast, is associated to the autophagosome membranes after processing.

Autophagy fights disease through cellular self-digestion
TL;DR: Understanding autophagy may ultimately allow scientists and clinicians to harness this process for the purpose of improving human health, and to play a role in cell death.

TOR signaling in growth and metabolism.
TL;DR: The physiological consequences of mammalianTORC1 dysregulation suggest that inhibitors of mammalian TOR may be useful in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders.

p62/SQSTM1 Binds Directly to Atg8/LC3 to Facilitate Degradation of Ubiquitinated Protein Aggregates by Autophagy

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the previously reported aggresome-like induced structures containing ubiquitinated proteins in cytosolic bodies are dependent on p62 for their formation and p62 is required both for the formation and the degradation of polyubiquitin-containing bodies by autophagy.
