SenSing and Signaling for PeroxiSome autoPhagic degradation (PexoPhagy) in yeaStS
yeast cells, similarly to cells of other eukaryotic organisms, possess intracellular organelles, including that of peroxisomes also known as microbodies . Enzymes of oxidative metabolism, mainly hydrogen peroxide generating oxidases, catalase, some enzymes of glyoxylic cycle and enzymes involved in catabolism of unusual carbon sources (n-alkanes, methanol) are located in peroxisomes. Especially...
متن کاملPexophagy in Hansenula polymorpha.
In the yeast Hansenula polymorpha the development and turnover of peroxisomes is readily achieved by manipulation of the cultivation conditions. The organelles massively develop when the cells are incubated in the presence of methanol as the sole source of carbon and energy. However, they are rapidly and selectively degraded when methanol-grown cells are placed at conditions of repression of me...
متن کاملPexophagy: autophagic degradation of peroxisomes.
The abundance of peroxisomes within a cell can rapidly decrease by selective autophagic degradation (also designated pexophagy). Studies in yeast species have shown that at least two modes of peroxisome degradation are employed, namely macropexophagy and micropexophagy. During macropexophagy, peroxisomes are individually sequestered by membranes, thus forming a pexophagosome. This structure fus...
متن کاملPexophagy: The Selective Degradation of Peroxisomes
Peroxisomes are single-membrane-bounded organelles present in the majority of eukaryotic cells. Despite the existence of great diversity among different species, cell types, and under different environmental conditions, peroxisomes contain enzymes involved in β-oxidation of fatty acids and the generation, as well as detoxification, of hydrogen peroxide. The exigency of all eukaryotic cells to q...
متن کاملIntracellular ATP correlates with mode of pexophagy in Pichia pastoris.
The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris can degrade peroxisomes selectively though two distinct pexophagic pathways, viz., micropexophagy and macropexophagy. These micro- and macropexophagy pathways are induced by adaptation of methanol-grown cells to glucose-containing and ethanol-containing media respectively. However, our understanding of the molecular signal(s) that determine which pathway...
