Vac8-driven vacuolar remodeling primes mega-autophagy and safeguardsgamete developmental competence
During gametogenesis, organelle remodeling is coordinated alongside chromosome segregation to ensure gamete quality. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the precursor-cell vacuole permeabilizes following completion of meiotic divisions, releasing hydrolytic enzymes that degrade cellular material excluded from gametes. The regulation and biological significance of this developmentally-programmed process,…
