Abstract
Macroautophagy (autophagy hereafter) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that maintains the health of cells by degrading toxic proteins and damaged organelles within the lysosomes. Tissues like ovary are made up of heterogeneous cell types and each cell type has distinct levels of autophagy. Studying autophagy in a cell-type specific manner helps better understand the role of autophagy during oogenesis. Here, we describe assays for monitoring autophagy during oogenesis in Drosophila using the two protein markers, Atg8a and Ref(2)P.
期刊介绍：
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
