Interplay of LRRK2 with chaperone-mediated autophagy

TL;DR: This newly described LRRK2 self-perpetuating inhibitory effect on CMA could underlie toxicity in Parkinson's disease by compromising the degradation of α-synuclein, another Parkinson’s disease–related protein degraded by this pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy failure in Alzheimer's disease and the role of defective lysosomal acidification.

TL;DR: The most commonly used pH probes for sensitivity and localisation are evaluated, and LysoSensor yellow/blue‐dextran, among currently used probes, are identified as having the optimal profile of properties for measuring lysosomal pH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chaperone-mediated autophagy: Molecular mechanisms and physiological relevance

TL;DR: This work has placed particular emphasis on the critical role that changes in the lipid composition of the lysosomal membrane play in the regulation of CMA, as well as the modulatory effect of other novel CMA components.

TECHNICAL SPOTLIGHT Autophagy failure in Alzheimer's disease and the role of defective lysosomal acidification

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the most commonly used pH probes for sensitivity and localisation, and identified LysoSensor yellow/blue-dextran, among currently used probes, as having the optimal profile of properties for measuring lysosomal pH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chaperone-mediated autophagy at a glance.

TL;DR: The term autophagy (or self-eating) is an intracellular catabolic pathway that mediates the degradation of a selective subset of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes.
