Evidence Quote

BCAAs are produced via protein catabolism dependent on functional autophagy pathways under energy-deprivation conditions.

Relationship

Autophagy pathway in energy deprivation enables Valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation pathway (BCAA)

Evidence

Study showing autophagy regulation of cell death and NPR1/SA signaling in Arabidopsis

(2009). Autophagy negatively regulates cell death by controlling NPR1-dependent salicylic acid signaling during senescence and the innate immune response in Arabidopsis
