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.

Mitochondria-Anchored Receptor Atg32 Mediates Degradation of Mitochondria via Selective Autophagy

Koji Okamoto, +2 more
- 21 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in post-log phase cells under respiratory conditions, a substantial fraction of mitochondria are exclusively sequestered as cargoes and transported to the vacuole, a lytic compartment in yeast, in an autophagy-dependent manner and suggested that Atg32, a mitochondria-anchored protein essential for mitophagy that is induced during respiratory growth, interacts with Atg8 and Atg11, autophatic proteins critical for recognition of cargo receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Koji Okamoto, +1 more
- 14 Nov 2005 -
