Molecular dissection of autophagy: two ubiquitin-like systems

Y Ohsumi. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2001 Mar.

Abstract

Recent analyses of the genes required for autophagy--intracellular bulk protein degradation--in yeast have revealed two ubiquitin-like systems, both of which are involved in the membrane dynamics of the process. Molecular dissection of these systems is now revealing some surprises.
