Yoshinori Ohsumi, the most recent prizewinner, used baker's yeast to identify genes crucial in autophagy, the process by which cells recycle their components.

The retrograde response pathway is specific to the yeast used in the study and supplies key amino acids to the cell by changing the metabolic process of the mitochondria.

Autophagy is the «self - eating» process of consuming the portion of intracellular proteins in the cells of eukaryotes such as yeast, humans and plants.

Autophagy is the «self - eating» process of consuming unwanted elements in the cells of eukaryotes such as yeast, humans and plants.

The budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a prime organism for studying fundamental cellular processes, with the functions of many proteins important in the cell cycle and signaling networks found in human biology having first been discovered in yeast.

To date, yeast has taught scientists a lot about cell division and DNA repair, processes that go wrong in cancer.

Susan Lindquist, PhD, professor of molecular genetics and cell biology, and colleagues showed that an improperly folded protein in yeast cells clumps together and then corrupts other, healthy molecules of the same protein to do likewise, in a process much like the «seeding» of a crystal.

«Although we first became aware of prions because they cause several bizarre neurological diseases, the discovery that something so awesomely similar happens in organisms as different as humans and yeast makes us suspect that there is a fundamental, common biochemical process at work here,» said study director Susan Lindquist, PhD, professor of molecular genetics and cell biology and an investigator in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Chicago.
