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

Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein-associated Protein-A (VAP-A) Interacts with the Oxysterol-binding Protein to Modify Export from the Endoplasmic Reticulum *

TL;DR: These studies show that OSBP binding to the ER and Golgi apparatus is regulated by its PH domain and VAP interactions, and the complex is involved at a stage of protein and ceramide transport from the ER.
Journal ArticleDOI

The major sites of cellular phospholipid synthesis and molecular determinants of Fatty Acid and lipid head group specificity.

TL;DR: A combination of coimmunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation experiments with various endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and nuclear markers confirmed that CPT1 was found in the Golgi and CEPT1 wasFindings allowed for the assignment of specific amino acid residues as structural requirements that directly alter either phospholipid head group or fatty acyl composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphatidylinositol-transfer protein effects a ligand-dependent inhibition of choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase activity

TL;DR: The collective data suggest that the phosphatidylcholine-bound form of SEC14p effects an essential repression of CDP-choline pathway activity in Golgi membranes by inhibiting CCTase and that theospholipid-binding/exchange activity of SEC 14p represents a mechanism by which the regulatory activity ofSEC14p is itself controlled.
