Journal ArticleDOI

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

Ubiquitin, cellular inclusions and their role in neurodegeneration

Alexandra Alves-Rodrigues, +2 more
- 01 Dec 1998 - 
TL;DR: Inclusions containing ubiquitinated proteins are commonly detected in many neurological disorders, and prevention of protein aggregation in these diseases might offer new therapeutic leads.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amyloid β-Protein Inhibits Ubiquitin-dependent Protein Degradation in Vitro

Luisa Gregori, +4 more
- 25 Aug 1995 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that Aβ acts as an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation in vitro and selectively inhibits the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20 S proteasome, which may explain the origin of the accumulation of ubiquitIn conjugates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Inhibitor of the Chymotrypsin‐Like Activity of the Multicatalytic Proteinase Complex (20S Proteasome) Induces Accumulation of Ubiquitin‐Protein Conjugates in a Neuronal Cell

Maria E. Figueiredo-Pereira, +2 more
- 23 Nov 2002 - 
TL;DR: The MPC inhibitor may help develop a model for the study of neurodegeneration where accumulation of ubiquitin‐protein conjugates is commonly detected in abnormal brain inclusions and be a useful tool for identification and study of physiological pathways involving MPC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of the Intracellular Sulfhydryl Homeostasis by Cadmium-induced Oxidative Stress Leads to Protein Thiolation and Ubiquitination in Neuronal Cells

Maria E. Figueiredo-Pereira, +2 more
- 22 May 1998 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that changes in the levels of intracellular Pr-SSGs and ubiquitin-protein conjugates in neuronal cells are responses closely associated with the disruption of intrACEllular sulfhydryl homeostasis caused by cadmium-mediated oxidative stress.
