Functional analysis of the autophagy specific to filamentous fungi

自噬的分子生物学已经开始使用酵母S。酿酒酵母中，和它的重要作用，在真核生物中已经揭示了不仅在酵母，而且在哺乳动物细胞。然而，对丝状真菌知之甚少。丝状真菌如曲霉菌、Aspserenum等在环境变化时分化成分生孢子形成。A.分离并表征了细菌。分析了丝状真菌特有的自噬的功能和作用。

Molecular biology of autophagy has started using yeast S. cerevisiae, and its important roles in eukaryotes have been revealed in not only yeast but also mammalian cells. However, little is known about filamentous fungi. Filamentous fungi such a Koji mold, Aspsergillus oryzae differentiates into conidia formation upon environmental change. Many autophagy-related genes from A. oryzae were isolated and characterized. Function and roles of autophagy specific to filamentous fungi have been analyzed.
