Biological functions of the autophagy-related proteins Atg4 and Atg8 in Cryptococcus neoformans.
Autophagy is a mechanism responsible for intracellular degradation and recycling of macromolecules and organelles, essential for cell survival in adverse conditions. More than 40 autophagy-related (ATG) genes have been identified and characterized in fungi, among them ATG4 and ATG8. ATG4 encodes a c...
