Dephosphorylation by calcineurin regulates translocation of Drp1 to mitochondria
Changes in mitochondrial morphology that occur during cell cycle, differentiation, and death are tightly regulated by the balance between fusion and fission processes. Excessive fragmentation can be… Expand
Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)
In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the… Expand
A Class of Dynamin-like GTPases Involved in the Generation of the Tubular ER Network
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of tubules that are shaped by the reticulons and DP1/Yop1p, but how the tubules form an interconnected network is unknown. Here, we show that mammalian… Expand
Hereditary spastic paraplegia proteins REEP1, spastin, and atlastin-1 coordinate microtubule interactions with the tubular ER network.
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs; SPG1-45) are inherited neurological disorders characterized by lower extremity spastic weakness. More than half of HSP cases result from autosomal dominant… Expand
Cyclic AMP-dependent Protein Kinase Phosphorylation of Drp1 Regulates Its GTPase Activity and Mitochondrial Morphology*
Mitochondria in cells comprise a tubulovesicular reticulum shaped by dynamic fission and fusion events. The multimeric dynamin-like GTPase Drp1 is a critical protein mediating mitochondrial division.… Expand
Atlastin GTPases are required for Golgi apparatus and ER morphogenesis.
The hereditary spastic paraplegias (SPG1-33) comprise a cluster of inherited neurological disorders characterized principally by lower extremity spasticity and weakness due to a length-dependent,… Expand

Human voluntary movement is controlled by the pyramidal motor system, a long CNS pathway comprising corticospinal and lower motor neurons. Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a large,… Expand
Regulation of GABAA receptor function by protein kinase C phosphorylation
GABAA receptors possess consensus sequences for phosphorylation by PKC that are located on the presumed intracellular domains of beta and gamma 2 subunits. PKC phosphorylation sites were analyzed… Expand
Cellular localization of a metabotropic glutamate receptor in rat brain
In rat brain, the cellular localization of a phosphoinositide-linked metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR1 alpha) was demonstrated using antibodies that recognize the C-terminus of the receptor.… Expand
Bax/Bak-Dependent Release of DDP/TIMM8a Promotes Drp1-Mediated Mitochondrial Fission and Mitoptosis during Programmed Cell Death
Mitochondrial morphology within cells is controlled by precisely regulated rates of fusion and fission . During programmed cell death (PCD), mitochondria undergo extensive fragmentation and… Expand
