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

Physiology of Consumption of Human Milk Oligosaccharides by Infant Gut-associated Bifidobacteria

Sadaki Asakuma, +9 more
- 07 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, B. bifidum left degraded HMO metabolites outside of the cell even when the cells initiate vegetative growth, which indicates that the different species/subspecies can share the produced sugars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two distinct α-l-fucosidases from Bifidobacterium bifidum are essential for the utilization of fucosylated milk oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates

Hisashi Ashida, +7 more
- 01 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that AfcA and AfcB play essential roles in degradingalpha1,2- and alpha1,3/4-fucosylated milk oligosaccharides, respectively, and also glycoconjugates, in the gastrointestinal tracts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longevity in Mice Is Promoted by Probiotic-Induced Suppression of Colonic Senescence Dependent on Upregulation of Gut Bacterial Polyamine Production

Mitsuharu Matsumoto, +5 more
- 16 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: This study demonstrated increased longevity in mice following probiotic treatment with LKM512, possibly due to the suppression of chronic low-grade inflammation in the colon induced by higher PA levels, indicating that ingestion of specific probiotics may be an easy approach for improving intestinal health and increasing lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutants of Mucor hiemalis Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase Show Enhanced Transglycosylation and Glycosynthase-like Activities

Midori Umekawa, +6 more
- 22 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: The site-directed mutagenesis on residues in the putative catalytic region of Endo-M is described to generate mutants with superior transglycosylation activity and the first glycosynthase derived from endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases that proceed via a substrate-assisted mechanism is described.
