Proteomic analysis reveals when and how which proteins are degraded in cancer cells by autophagy pathways

A fundamental process by which cellular components are degraded is autophagy. Defects in autophagy pathways are strongly associated with multiple human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. Despite their importance, to date, a comprehensive characterization of the extent and selectivity for Autophagic degradomes has remained largely uncharacterized. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have in two studies published in the journal autophagy mapped out how this happens.
