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

Subversion of cellular autophagosomal machinery by RNA viruses.

TL;DR: It is argued that these double-membraned structures provide membranous supports for viral RNA replication complexes, possibly enabling the nonlytic release of cytoplasmic contents, including progeny virions, from infected cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NeST long ncRNA controls microbial susceptibility and epigenetic activation of the interferon-γ locus.

TL;DR: An enhancer-like lncRNA termed NeST is shown to be causal for all phenotypes conferred by murine viral susceptibility locus Tmevp3, and regulates epigenetic marking of IFN-γ-encoding chromatin, expression of IFn-γ, and susceptibility to a viral and a bacterial pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remodeling the Endoplasmic Reticulum by Poliovirus Infection and by Individual Viral Proteins: an Autophagy-Like Origin for Virus-Induced Vesicles

TL;DR: Poliovirus-induced vesicles derive from the ER by the action of viral proteins 2BC and 3A by a mechanism that excludes resident host proteins, which is consistent with an autophagic origin for these membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of RNA recombination in poliovirus.

TL;DR: The results strongly support a copy choice mechanism for RNA recombination, in which the viral RNA polymerase switches templates during negative strand synthesis.
