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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering the Caenorhabditis elegans genome using Cas9-triggered homologous recombination

TL;DR: A method to edit the C. elegans genome using the clustered, regularly interspersed, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease and homologous recombination and it is demonstrated that Cas9 is able to induce DNA double-strand breaks with specificity for targeted sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diverse behavioural defects caused by mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans unc-43 CaM Kinase II

TL;DR: It is reported that unc-43 encodes the only Caenorhabditis elegans CaMKII, and mutations in the unc-103 potassium channel gene suppress a gain-of-function phenotype of unc- 43 in one tissue without affecting other tissues; thus, UNC-103 may be a tissue-specific target of CaMK II in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RalGEF-Ral Effector Signaling Network: The Road Less Traveled for Anti-Ras Drug Discovery:

TL;DR: The evidence for the importance of the Ras-like (Ral) small GTPases in cancer and possible directions for therapeutic inhibition of aberrant Ral activation and signaling are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ral and Rheb GTPase Activating Proteins Integrate mTOR and GTPase Signaling in Aging, Autophagy, and Tumor Cell Invasion

TL;DR: An unexpected crosstalk and integration of the Ral and mTOR signaling networks is identified, which caused mTORC1-dependent pancreatic tumor cell invasion and caused RalB-selective activation and Sec5- and exocyst-dependent engagement of mTORCs and suppression of autophagy.
