Cell recycling: autophagocytosis and the ubiquitin proteasome processes
Few factors are as crucial for the regulated course of cellular functions as the balance between structure or synthesis and the breakdown of cytoplasmic organelles and proteins. The cell regulates this balance primarily via two mechanisms: 1) the ubiquitin-proteasome system and 2) autophagocytosis (‘self-eating’), in which cellular components are fed to lysosomal degradation. While the… Dowiedz się więcej »
