This paper presents the important finding that BNIP3/NIX, a mitophagy receptor, and its binding to ATG18 are required for mitophagy during muscle cell reorganization in Drosophila. Although the ...

As a crucial cellular process involved in degrading and recycling damaged organelles and proteins, autophagy-related (ATG) proteins mediated autophagy plays a significant role in various physiological ...

Conversely, over-activation of Yorkie, either by removing the negative regulators Hippo or Warts or by enabling constitutive nuclear entry of Yorkie results in premature and excessive expression of ...
