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

Gigantic macroautophagy in programmed nuclear death of Tetrahymena thermophila

Takahiko Akematsu, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Findings suggest that PND in Tetrahymena is a highly elaborated process, different from the typical macroautophagy seen in other systems, and is executed through interaction between specific molecular signals on the parental macronuclear envelope and autophagic/lysosomal machineries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in programmed nuclear death during conjugation in Tetrahymena thermophila.

Takahiko Akematsu, +1 more
- 11 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that Tetrahymena AIF plays an important role in the degradation of DNA at an early stage of PND, which supports the notion that the mitochondrion-initiated apoptotic DNA degradation pathway is widely conserved among eukaryotes.

Studies on the resting cyst of ciliated protozoan Colpoda cucullus: resistance to temperature and additional inducing factors for en-or excystment

Hajime Maeda, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: The resting cysts of Colpoda cucullus were resistant to not only drying, but high and low temperatures, and the result suggests that mechanical cell-to-cell contact induces encystment.
