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

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy in higher eukaryotes

Daniel J. Klionsky, +235 more
- 16 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yeast kinesin-8 depolymerizes microtubules in a length-dependent manner

Vladimir Varga, +5 more
- 13 Aug 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is directly demonstrated that Kip3p destabilizes microtubules by depolymerizing them — accounting for the effects of kinesin-8 perturbations on microtubule and spindle length observed in fungi and metazoan cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanisms of kinetochore capture by spindle microtubules

Kozo Tanaka, +7 more
- 21 Apr 2005 - 
TL;DR: Individual kinetochore–microtubule interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are visualized by regulating the activity of a centromere by facilitating the conversion of microtubule dynamics from shrinkage to growth at the plus ends.
Journal ArticleDOI

IRA2, a second gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that encodes a protein with a domain homologous to mammalian ras GTPase-activating protein.

Kozo Tanaka, +5 more
- 01 Aug 1990 - 
TL;DR: expression of the IRA2 domain homologous with GAP is sufficient for complementation of the heat shock sensitivity of ira2, suggesting that IRA down regulates RAS activity by stimulating the GTPase activity of RAS proteins.
