Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two distinct Vps34 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complexes function in autophagy and carboxypeptidase Y sorting in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Akio Kihara, +3 more
- 05 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: Coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed that two distinct Vps34 PtdIns 3–kinase complexes exist: one, containing Vps15p, Vps30p, and Apg14p, functions in autophagy and the other containing VPS15 p, VPS30 p, and Vps38p functions in CPY sorting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beclin-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex functions at the trans-Golgi network.

Akio Kihara, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2001 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that Beclin was co‐immunoprecipitated with phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3‐kinase, which is also required for autophagy, suggesting that BeClin is a component of the PtdIns 3‐Kinase complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracellular localization and tissue-specific distribution of human and yeast DHHC cysteine-rich domain-containing proteins.

Yusuke Ohno, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: All the yeast and human DHHC genes are cloned and their intracellular localization and tissue-specific expression are investigated to aid in discovering the specific function(s) of each DHHC protein.
