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

Distinct Structural Mechanisms for Inhibition of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase Isoforms by AZD7545, Dichloroacetate, and Radicicol

Masato Kato, +3 more
- 14 Aug 2007 - 
TL;DR: Structures of human PDK1 or PDK3 bound to the inhibitors AZD7545, dichloroacetate (DCA), and radicicol are determined and it is shown that the trifluoromethylpropanamide end of AZD 7545 projects into the lipoyl-binding pocket of PDK 1, leading to inhibition ofPDK1 andPDK3 activities by aborting kinase binding to the PDC scaffold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Starch biosynthesis, its regulation and biotechnological approaches to improve crop yields.

Abdellatif Bahaji, +10 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: This review provides an update on the different proposed pathways of starch biosynthesis occurring in both autotrophic and heterotrophic organs, and provides emerging information about the networks regulating them and their interactions with the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sucrose synthase activity in the sus1/sus2/sus3/sus4 Arabidopsis mutant is sufficient to support normal cellulose and starch production

Edurne Baroja-Fernández, +9 more
- 03 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that SUS activity in the cleavage direction is sufficient to support normal rate of starch accumulation in WT leaves, and the overall data disprove Barratt et al. (2009) claims, and are consistent with the possible involvement of SUS in cellulose and starch biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing Sucrose Synthase Activity in Transgenic Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) Tubers Results in Increased Levels of Starch, ADPglucose and UDPglucose and Total Yield

Edurne Baroja-Fernández, +12 more
- 01 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: Results presented in this work show that SuSy strongly determines the intracellular levels of UDPglucose, ADPglucoses and starch, and total yield in potato tubers, and it is shown that enhancement of SuSy activity represents a useful strategy for increasing starch accumulation and yield in Potato tubers.
