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

Multivesicular bodies associate with components of miRNA effector complexes and modulate miRNA activity

TL;DR: It is proposed that this process promotes continuous assembly or disassembly of membrane-associated miRISCs, which is possibly required for miRNA loading or target recognition and subsequent silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective autophagy degrades DICER and AGO2 and regulates miRNA activity

TL;DR: It is shown that the DICER enzyme and the main miRNA effector, AGO2, are targeted for degradation as miRNA-free entities by the selective autophagy receptor NDP52, underscoring the importance of fine-tuned regulation of the miRNA pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy supports genomic stability by degrading retrotransposon RNA

TL;DR: Autophagy physiologically buffers genetic variegation by degrading retrotransposon RNA, which may contribute to the increased tumorigenesis occuring when autophagy is inhibited and suggest a role for autophagic in tempering evolutionary change.
