Autophagy: machinery and regulation
Macroautophagy/autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular degradation process that targets cytoplasmic materials including cytosol, macromolecules and unwanted organelles. The discovery and analysis of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins have unveiled much of the machinery of autophagosome formation. Although initially autophagy was regarded as a survival response to stress, recent studies ...
متن کاملAutophagy: molecular machinery, regulation, and implications for renal pathophysiology.
Autophagy is a cellular process of "self-eating." During autophagy, a portion of cytoplasm is enveloped in double membrane-bound structures called autophagosomes, which undergo maturation and fusion with lysosomes for degradation. At the core of the molecular machinery of autophagy is a specific family of genes or proteins called Atg. Originally identified in yeast, Atg orthologs are now being ...
متن کاملpeptides and peptidomimetics: their relevance in autophagy regulation in biomedicine
autophagy is a cellular process mediating degradation of bulk cytoplasm, long-lived proteins and entire organelles. in this process, double-membrane vesicles, the autophagosomes, wrap around portions of cytosol and transport them to the lysosome for degradation. several molecules participate in autophagosome nucleation and elongation, including various components of the class iii pi3k complex, ...
متن کاملThe molecular machinery of autophagy: unanswered questions.
Autophagy is a process in which cytosol and organelles are sequestered within double-membrane vesicles that deliver the contents to the lysosome/vacuole for degradation and recycling of the resulting macromolecules. It plays an important role in the cellular response to stress, is involved in various developmental pathways and functions in tumor suppression, resistance to pathogens and extensio...
متن کاملHow Parkinsonian Toxins Dysregulate the Autophagy Machinery
Since their discovery, Parkinsonian toxins (6-hydroxydopamine, MPP+, paraquat, and rotenone) have been widely employed as in vivo and in vitro chemical models of Parkinson's disease (PD). Alterations in mitochondrial homeostasis, protein quality control pathways, and more recently, autophagy/mitophagy have been implicated in neurotoxin models of PD. Here, we highlight the molecular mechanisms b...
