TLDR
This study characterized the putative compartment from which both autophagosomes and the analogous Cvt vesicles may originate and identified a perivacuolar membrane as the resident compartment for both the Apg-Cvt9 signaling complex, which mediates the switching between autophagic and Cvt transport, and the autophagy/Cvt-specific phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex.

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.

Development by Self-Digestion: Molecular Mechanisms and Biological Functions of Autophagy

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge about the molecular machinery of autophagy and the role of the autophagic machinery in eukaryotic development and identifies a set of evolutionarily conserved genes that are essential forAutophagy.

Promotion of tumorigenesis by heterozygous disruption of the beclin 1 autophagy gene

TL;DR: It is shown that heterozygous disruption of beclin 1 increases the frequency of spontaneous malignancies and accelerates the development of hepatitis B virus-induced premalignant lesions, providing genetic evidence that autophagy is a novel mechanism of cell-growth control and tumor suppression.

Autophagy as a Regulated Pathway of Cellular Degradation

TL;DR: The core protein machinery that is necessary to drive formation and consumption of intermediates in the macroautophagy pathway includes a ubiquitin-like protein conjugation system and a protein complex that directs membrane docking and fusion at the lysosome or vacuole.

Rab proteins as membrane organizers

TL;DR: Cellular organelles in the exocytic and endocytic pathways have a distinctive spatial distribution and communicate through an elaborate system of vesiculo-tubular transport.

Induction of autophagy and inhibition of tumorigenesis by beclin 1.

TL;DR: It is shown that beclin 1 is a mammalian autophagy gene that can inhibit tumorigenesis and is expressed at decreased levels in human breast carcinoma, suggesting that decreased expression of Autophagy proteins may contribute to the development or progression of breast and other human malignancies.

A ubiquitin-like system mediates protein lipidation

TL;DR: A new mode of protein lipidation is reported, in which Apg8 is covalently conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine through an amide bond between the C-terminal glycine and the amino group of phosph atidyleanolamine, mediated by a ubiquitination-like system.

Isolation and characterization of autophagy-defective mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: The results on the apg mutants suggest that autophagy via autophagic bodies is indispensable for protein degradation in the vacuoles under starvation conditions, and that at least 15 APG genes are involved inAutophagy in yeast.
