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

Flow of information in the light-triggered cyclic nucleotide cascade of vision.

TL;DR: It is found that phosphodiesterase on unilluminated disc membranes can indeed be fully activated by addition of T alpha containing bound p[NH]ppG, suggesting that transducin is the first amplified information-carrying intermediate in the cyclic nucleotide cascade of vision.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution and morphology of human cone photoreceptors stained with anti-blue opsin.

TL;DR: Primate cones maximally sensitive to short wavelength light (blue cones) have been previously identified by using indirect methods and stained wholemounted human retinas obtained from 6 female donors using an affinity purified antibody to a 19 amino acid peptide sequence at the N‐terminus of blue opsin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recoverin: a calcium sensitive activator of retinal rod guanylate cyclase.

TL;DR: Vertebrate retinal photoreceptors recover from photoexcitation-induced hydrolysis of guanosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) by resynthesizing cyclicGMP, which reopens cation channels that have been closed by light.
Journal ArticleDOI

A thyroid hormone receptor that is required for the development of green cone photoreceptors.

TL;DR: The results indicate that cone photoreceptors throughout the retina have the potential to follow a default S-cone pathway and reveal an essential role for Trβ2 in the commitment to an M-cone identity, and raise the possibility that Thrb mutations may be associated with human cone disorders.
