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

Galectin 8 targets damaged vesicles for autophagy to defend cells against bacterial invasion

TL;DR: It is shown in human cells that galectin 8 (also known as LGALS8), a cytosolic lectin, is a danger receptor that restricts Salmonella proliferation and serves as a versatile receptor for vesicle-damaging pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

The TBK1 adaptor and autophagy receptor NDP52 restricts the proliferation of ubiquitin-coated bacteria.

TL;DR: It is concluded that human cells utilize the ubiquitin system and NDP52 to activate autophagy against bacteria attempting to colonize their cytosol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salmonella SPI-2 Type III Secretion System Effectors: Molecular Mechanisms And Physiological Consequences.

TL;DR: The biochemical activities, host cell interaction partners, and physiological functions of SPI-2 T3SS effectors are summarized in the context of the selective pressures encountered by S. enterica in vivo to achieve a unified understanding of how effector activities work together to promote Salmonella virulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salmonella persisters undermine host immune defenses during antibiotic treatment

TL;DR: It is shown that Salmonella persisters arising during macrophage infection maintain a metabolically active state, which may confer an advantage to the pathogen during relapse once antibiotic pressure is relieved.
