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

A major surface glycoprotein of Trypanosoma brucei is expressed transiently during development and can be regulated post-transcriptionally by glycerol or hypoxia

TL;DR: The finding that GPEET is expressed during a defined window during the establishment of infection suggests that it has a specific function in host-parasite interactions rather than a generalized role in shielding underlying membrane molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid metabolism in Trypanosoma brucei.

TL;DR: Together with the completed genome, these studies have highlighted several possible differences between mammalian and trypanosome lipid biosynthesis that could be exploited for the development of drugs against the diseases caused by these parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI

'GPEET' procyclin is the major surface protein of procyclic culture forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei strain 427.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, the results show that GPEET procyclin represents the major form of pro cyclin in T. b.
