Autophagy is a system for degradation of bulk cellular components in lytic compartments, vacuoles, or lysosomes when eukaryotic cells face with nutrient starvation. In this review, we focus on the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS), a functional entity responsible for autophagosome formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and discuss its relevance to autophagy in mammalian cells.
自噬是一种在真核细胞面临营养饥饿时,通过溶酶体或液泡中的溶酶体降解大量细胞成分的系统。在这篇综述中,我们专注于前自噬体结构(PAS),这是一个在酿酒酵母中负责自噬体形成的功能实体,并讨论其与哺乳动物细胞自噬的相关性。
