High impact information on Autophagy

  • Here we show that plant BECLIN 1, an ortholog of the yeast and mammalian autophagy gene ATG6/VPS30/beclin 1, functions to restrict HR PCD to infection sites [7].
  • Bcl-2 antiapoptotic proteins inhibit Beclin 1-dependent autophagy [8].
  • The anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2, interacts with the evolutionarily conserved autophagy protein, Beclin 1 [8].
  • In this issue of Cell, new evidence indicates that autophagy is used to for survival when intracellular nutrients are limited by growth factor deprivation (Lum et al., 2005) [9].
  • Sequestration of mTOR impairs its kinase activity and induces autophagy, a key clearance pathway for mutant huntingtin fragments [10].

Gene context of Autophagy

  • Apg8/Aut7 is an essential factor for autophagy in yeast [25].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The progressive disappearance of acinar cells in Spink3(-/-) mice was due to autophagic cell death and impaired regeneration [26].
  • Cvt9 oligomers peripherally associate with a novel, perivacuolar membrane compartment and interact with Apg1, a Ser/Thr kinase essential for both the Cvt pathway and autophagy [27].
  • Here, we characterize a requirement for Vps34 in constitutive autophagy by the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway [28].
  • Apg9p/Cvt7p is the first characterized integral membrane protein required for Cvt and autophagy transport [29].
