Deskripsi

Autophagy is known to promote cellular survival upon starvation, although how recycled components fit into cellular metabolism has not been well established. Here, the authors show in yeast that autophagy tunes cellular metabolism based on nitrogen availability via glutamate and aspartate synthesis.
