Thus it became possible to exploit these genetically tractable organisms to improve our understanding of the intricate mechanisms of cell death in higher eukaryotes and of severe human diseases associated with apoptosis dysfunctions. Early on, it was recognized that a mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway showing similarities to the mammalian intrinsic pathway was conserved in yeast. Recently, lysosomes have also emerged as central players in mammalian apoptosis. Following LMP (lysosomal membrane permeabilization), lysosomal proteases such as cathepsins B, D and L are released into the cytosol and can trigger a mitochondrial apoptotic cascade. CatD (cathepsin D) can also have anti-apoptotic effects in some cellular types and specific contexts. Nonetheless, the mechanisms underlying LMP and the specific role of cathepsins after their release into the cytosol remain poorly understood. We have recently shown that yeast vacuoles, membrane-bound acidic organelles, which share many similarities to plant vacuoles and mammalian lysosomes, are also involved in the regulation of apoptosis and that the vacuolar protease Pep4p, orthologue of the human CatD, is released from the vacuole into the cytosol in response to acetic acid. Here, we discuss how the conservation of cell-death regulation mechanisms in yeast by the lysosome-like organelle and mitochondria may provide new insights into the understanding of the complex interplay between the mitochondria and lysosome-mediated signalling routes during mammalian apoptosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bst0391533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,3]],"date-time":"2012-05-03T12:32:44Z","timestamp":1336048364000},"page":"1533-1537","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Vacuole\u2013mitochondrial cross-talk during apoptosis in yeast: a model for understanding lysosome\u2013mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in mammals"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Maria Jo\u00e3o","family":"Sousa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Fl\u00e1v\u00eca","family":"Azevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Pedras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"},{"name":"CITAB (Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o e de Tecnologias Agro-Ambientais e Biol\u00f3gicas), Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Olga P.","family":"Coutinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Preto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Hern\u00e2ni","family":"Ger\u00f3s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CITAB (Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o e de Tecnologias Agro-Ambientais e Biol\u00f3gicas), Vila Real, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Susana R.","family":"Chaves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Manuela","family":"C\u00f4rte-Real","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBMA (Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology)\/Department of Biology, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111900575285100_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6434","DOI":"10.1038\/onc.2008.310","article-title":"Lysosomal membrane permeabilization in cell death","volume":"27","author":"Boya","year":"2008","journal-title":"Oncogene"},{"key":"2021111900575285100_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"527","DOI":"10.1007\/s10495-009-0452-5","article-title":"Regulation of apoptosis-associated lysosomal membrane permeabilization","volume":"15","author":"Johansson","year":"2010","journal-title":"Apoptosis"},{"key":"2021111900575285100_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"662","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mito.2010.07.008","article-title":"Lysosomal\u2013mitochondrial cross-talk during cell death","volume":"10","author":"Repnik","year":"2010","journal-title":"Mitochondrion"},{"key":"2021111900575285100_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21783","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.R109.023820","article-title":"Lysosomes as \u2018suicide bags\u2019 in cell death: myth or reality?","volume":"284","author":"Turk","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
