Rim15 and Sch9 kinases are involved in induction of autophagic degradation of ribosomes in budding yeast

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2017 Feb;81(2):307-310. doi: 10.1080/09168451.2016.1234928. Epub 2016 Sep 23.

Abstract

Autophagic degradation of ribosomes is promoted by nutrient starvation and inactivation of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1). Here we show that selective autophagic degradation of ribosomes (called ribophagy) after TORC1 inactivation requires the specific autophagy receptor Atg11. Rim15 protein kinase upregulated ribophagy, while it downregulated non-selective degradation of ribosomes.

Keywords: Rim15; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; ribophagy; target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1).
