Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Dose response confirmation of the uHTS fluorescent assay for identification of inhibitors of ATG4B.
Description:  Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Number: 1 R03 MH090871-01 Assay Provider: Dr. John C. Reed, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, San Diego CA Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process whereby cells catabolize damaged proteins and organelles for purposes of generating substrates for sustaining ATP production during times of nutrient deprivation. The autophagic process involves membrane vesicles engulfing cytosol and organelles, delivering their contents to lysosomes for digestion. The genes responsible for autophagy have been identified, largely through genetic analysis of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and are conserved in mammals, plants, and essentially all eukaryotes. While autophagy is critical for cell survival in the context of nutrient deprivation, circumstances
