Microautophagy of the Nucleus Coincides with a Vacuolar Diffusion Barrier at NuclearāVacuolar Junctions
Nuclear-vacuolar (NV) junctions are organelle contact sites in yeast. They exclude nuclear pores from the organelle interface. On the vacuolar side, a lipid-dependent process excludes specific membrane proteins, such as V-ATPase, from the contact site. This suggests that NV junctions establish selective diffusion barriers
