Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many individual aspects of the dynamics and assembly of biological membranes have been studied in great detail. Cell biological approaches, advanced genetics, biophysics and biochemistry have greatly contributed to an increase in our knowledge in this field.lt is obvious however, that the three major membrane constituents - lipids, proteins and carbohydrates- are studied, in most cases separately and that a coherent overview of the various aspects of membrane biogenesis is not readily available. The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "New Perspectives in the Dynamics of Assembly of Biomembranes" intended to provide such an overview: it was set up to teach students and specialists the achievements obtained in the various research areas and to try and integrate the numerous aspects of membrane assembly into a coherent framework. The articles in here reflect this. Statting with detailed contributions on phospholipid structure, dynamics, organization and biogenesis, an up to date overview of the basic, lipidic backbone of biomembranes is given. Extensive progress is made in the research on membrane protein biosynthesis. In particular the post- and co-translational modification processes of proteins, the mechanisms of protein translocation and the sorting mechanisms which are necessary to direct proteins to their final, intra - or extracellular destination have been characterized in detail. Modern genetic approaches were indispensable in this research area: gene cloning, hybrid protein construction, site directed mutagenesis and sequencing techniques elucidated many functional aspects of specific nucleic acid and amino acid sequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The canonical autophagy pathway has primarily been described as a degradative mechanism, which clears the cell of old damaged organelles, protein aggregates and pathogens. Central to the pathway is the de novo formation of a vesicle structure called the autophagosome, which fuses with lysosomes to degrade its content. The Atg8a/MAP1-LC3 protein family is essential for the formation of the autophagosome, and Atg8a mutations result in a variety of defects related to decreased autophagic function. Recently, we have observed a phenotype in Atg8a mutant Drosophila that is consistent with secretory defects of the peptide hormone Bursicon, which is responsible for wing expansion and cuticle hardening upon eclosion. This observation is in accordance with other recent findings which show that components of the autophagy pathway are also involved in the secretion of bioactive molecules. However, the intersection of autophagy and secretory pathways is not yet fully understood. Here, we show that along with Bursicon two additional peptide hormones are differentially secreted and show impaired hemolymph profiles when autophagic function is lowered in the fly nervous system. This includes the release of the pigment dispersing factor (PDF, circadian cycle) and the mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (dMANF, stress response), which is highlighted by the aberrant sleep-circadian behaviors (PDF) and trauma-mediated sensitivity (MANF) associated with Atg8a1 mutant flies. Based on the Bursicon wing phenotype, we conducted a secretion-based screen using the GAL4/UAS-dsRNAi knockdown system and identified Atg8a and other autophagy components involved with organelle initiation and membrane expansion that show impaired Bursicon release upon knockdown. Furthermore, this did not include genes involved with selective autophagy (aggrephagy) or endosomal-lysosomal trafficking. Findings from this research will have broad implications toward understanding complex secretory defects and the intersection of autophagy with other vesicle trafficking pathways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the explosion of information on autophagy in cancer, this is an opportune time to speed the efforts to translate our current knowledge about autophagy regulation into better understanding of its role in cancer. This book will cover the latest advances in this area from the basics, such as the molecular machinery for autophagy induction and regulation, up to the current areas of interest such as modulation of autophagy and drug discovery for cancer prevention and treatment. The text will include an explanation on how autophagy can function in both oncogenesis and tumor suppression and a description of its function in tumor development and tumor suppression through its roles in cell survival, cell death, cell growth as well as its influences on inflammation, immunity, DNA damage, oxidative stress, tumor microenvironment, etc. The remaining chapters will cover topics on autophagy and cancer therapy. These pages will serve as a description on how the pro-survival function of autophagy may help cancer cells resist chemotherapy and radiation treatment as well as how the pro-death functions of autophagy may enhance cell death in response to cancer therapy, and how to target autophagy for cancer prevention and therapy − what to target and how to target it. ​

These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.

Download or read book Autophagy of the Nervous System written by Zhenyu Yue and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2012 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is autophagy? Why would neurons digest parts of themselves through autophagy? How can autophagy save the lives of cells under some conditions, but act as an accomplice to cell death in others? By what mechanisms are autophagy-related processes dysregulated in neurological diseases, and are there therapeutic strategies to correct or compensate for their dysfunction? This book provides an expert view of major concepts in autophagy research with a focus on autophagy in neurons. Experimental evidence for evolutionarily conserved and specialized regulatory mechanisms for autophagy in the mammalian nervous system will be presented, including recent data on braking mechanisms. Areas of intersection with cell death, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, chaperone-mediated autophagy, and the endocytic pathway will be reviewed, along with emerging areas of mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) and the autophagic regulation of neuritic/synaptic processes. Advances in delineating mechanisms by which autophagy is involved in the pathophysiology of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ischemia/hypoxia and lysosomal storage diseases, will be discussed along with current drug development strategies targeting autophagy.

Download or read book Autophagy Biology and Diseases written by Zheng-Hong Qin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book series consists of 3 volumes covering the basic science (Volume 1), clinical science (Volume 2) and the technology and methodology (Volume 3) of autophagy. Volume 1 focuses on the biology of autophagy, including the signaling pathways, regulating processes and biological functions. Autophagy is a fundamental physiological process in eukaryotic cells. It not only regulates normal cellular homeostasis, and organ development and function, but also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases. Thanks to the rapid development of molecular biology and omic technologies, research on autophagy has boomed in recent decades, and more and more cellular and animal models and state-of the-art technologies are being used to shed light on the complexity of signaling networks involved in the autophagic process. Further, its involvement in biological functions and the pathogenesis of various diseases has attracted increased attention around the globe. Presenting cutting-edge knowledge, this book series is a useful reference resource for researchers and clinicians who are working on or interested in autophagy.
