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

Apolipoprotein E: high-avidity binding to beta-amyloid and increased frequency of type 4 allele in late-onset familial Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there was a highly significant association of apolipoprotein E type 4 allele (APOE-epsilon 4) and late-onset familial Alzheimer disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Cell Death Protease Caspase-9 by Phosphorylation

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinase Akt and p21-Ras, an Akt activator, induced phosphorylation of pro-caspase-9 (pro-Casp9) in cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human ICE/CED-3 Protease Nomenclature

TL;DR: A committee of several scientists who have been involved in the identification and characterization of these enzymes have formed a committee, with the objective of proposing a nomenclature for the human members of this protease family that is sensible and easy to use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yama/CPP32β, a mammalian homolog of CED-3, is a CrmA-inhibitable protease that cleaves the death substrate poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase

TL;DR: It is proposed that Yama may represent an effector component of the mammalian cell death pathway and suggest that CrmA blocks apoptosis by inhibiting Yama.
