Autophagy is a catabolic process for the autophagosomic- lysosomal degradation of bulk cytoplasmic contents (1,2).
Autophagy is generally activated by conditions of nutrient deprivation but has also been associated with a number of physiological processes including development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, infection and cancer (3).
The molecular machinery of autophagy was largely discovered in yeast and referred to as autophagy-related (Atg) genes.
Formation of the autophagosome involves a ubiquitin-like conjugation system in which Apg12 is covalently bound to Apg5 and targeted to autophagosome vesicles (4-6).
This conjugation reaction is mediated by the ubiquitin-E1-like enzyme Apg7 and the E2-like enzyme Apg10 (7,8).
