Eukaryotic cells have the ability to degrade proteins and organelles by selective and nonselective modes of micro- and macroautophagy. In addition, there exist both constitutive and regulated forms of autophagy. For example, pexophagy is a selective process for the regulated degradation of peroxisomes by autophagy. Our studies have shown that the differing pathways of autophagy have many molecular events in common. In this article, we have identified a new member in the family of autophagy genes ...[more]
