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

Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Molecular Biology of Lipids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Günther Daum, +3 more
- 01 Dec 1998 - 
TL;DR: Current knowledge about lipid biosynthetic pathways in S. cerevisiae is summarized and characteristic features of the gene products involved are described, focusing on recent discoveries in these fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Cloning and Functional Characterization of Murine Sphingosine Kinase

Takafumi Kohama, +5 more
- 11 Sep 1998 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that sphingosine kinase is a prototypical member of a new class of lipid kinases, and an important step in corroborating the intracellular role of SPP as a second messenger.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphingolipid Synthesis as a Target for Antifungal Drugs: COMPLEMENTATION OF THE INOSITOL PHOSPHORYLCERAMIDE SYNTHASE DEFECT IN A MUTANT STRAIN OF SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE BY THE AUR1 GENE *

M. Marek Nagiec, +5 more
- 11 Apr 1997 - 
TL;DR: A gene, AUR1 (YKL004w), that complements the IPC synthase defect and restores enzyme activity and sphingolipid synthesis was isolated, showing that the drug is a potent inhibitor of I PC synthase with an IC50 of about 0.2 nM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphingolipid functions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: comparison to mammals.

Robert C. Dickson
- 01 Jan 1998 - 
TL;DR: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is likely to be the first organism in which all genes involved in sphingolipid metabolism are identified, and this information will provide an unprecedented opportunity to determine, for the first time in any organism, how sphingoipid synthesis is regulated.
