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

Caspase-12 mediates endoplasmic-reticulum-specific apoptosis and cytotoxicity by amyloid-beta.

TL;DR: It is shown that caspase-12 is localized to the ER and activated by ER stress, including disruption of ER calcium homeostasis and accumulation of excess proteins in ER, but not by membrane- or mitochondrial-targeted apoptotic signals, which may contribute to amyloid-β neurotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-talk between two cysteine protease families. Activation of caspase-12 by calpain in apoptosis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that disturbance to intracellular calcium storage as a result of ischemic injury or amyloid β peptide cytotoxicity may induce apoptosis through calpain- mediated caspase-12 activation and Bcl-xL inactivation, suggesting a novel apoptotic pathway involving calcium-mediated calpain activation and cross-talks between calpain and caspases families.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Xenopus IP3 receptor: Structure, function, and localization in oocytes and eggs

TL;DR: Immunocytochemical studies and cDNA clones encoding IP3R expressed in the Xenopus oocytes revealed polarized distribution of XIP3R in the cytoplasm of the animal hemisphere in a well-organized endoplasmic reticulum-like structure and intensive localization in the perinuclear region of stage VI immature oocytes.
