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

The Small GTPases Rho and Rac Are Required for the Establishment of Cadherin-dependent Cell–Cell Contacts

Vania M.M. Braga, +3 more
- 16 Jun 1997 - 
TL;DR: The data showed that the concerted action of Rho and Rac modulate the establishment of cadherin adhesion: a constitutively active form of Rac was not sufficient to stabilize cadherindependent cell–cell contacts when endogenous Rho was inhibited.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-cell adhesion and signalling.

Vania M.M. Braga
- 01 Oct 2002 - 
TL;DR: Signalling pathways activated by Rho small GTPases have recently been identified that coordinate junction assembly, stability and function, as well as interactions of adhesive complexes with the underlying cortical cytoskeleton, which points to a more integrated view of signalling processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Cadherin Function by Rho and Rac: Modulation by Junction Maturation and Cellular Context

Vania M.M. Braga, +3 more
- 01 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that the same stimuli may have different activity in regulating the paracellular activity in endothelial and epithelial cells, and uncovered possible roles for the small GTPases during the establishment of E-cadherin-dependent contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rap1 Regulates the Formation of E-Cadherin-Based Cell-Cell Contacts

Catherine Hogan, +8 more
- 01 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: It is reported here that the cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin interacts with C3G, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rap1, and suggested that Cdc42 functions downstream of Rap1 in this process.
