Autophagy is an essential lysosome-dependent quality-control process through which cells degrade and recycle intracellular material. Based on how substrates enter degradative compartments, autophagy is primarily classified into macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy. ...

Targeted protein degradation is expanding from the ubiquitin-proteasome system to the autophagy-lysosome system. AUTAC, AUTOTAC, and ATTEC can all exploit autophagy to eliminate specific targets, but they differ in cargo recognition and autophagy-recruitment mechanisms. First- and ...
Autophagy is a cellular quality control system that delivers cytoplasmic components, damaged organelles, protein aggregates, or intracellular pathogens to lysosomes for degradation. Its core significance is not simply “increased degradation,” but rather the maintenance of cellular ...
