    摘要: The invention provides a method of selecting a mutant polypeptide having lysine demodification, in particular lysine deacylation, activity, wherein the method comprises the following steps (a) incubating a mutant polypeptide having an amino acid sequence with at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 with a peptide or polypeptide comprising an inactivated essential lysine residue; and (b) determining the activity of the mutant polypeptide to activate the peptide or polypeptide comprising the inactivated essential lysine residue, wherein the mutant polypeptide and the peptide or polypeptide comprising an inactivated essential lysine residue are incubated in a biological cell. The invention furthermore relates to an acylated luciferase, particularly Firefly luciferase, and uses thereof. The present invention furthermore relates to a mutant polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 98% sequence homology with SEQ ID NOs: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and having lysine demodification, in particular lysine deacylation, activity, wherein the mutant polypeptide is not identical to SEQ ID NO: 1. The invention also relates to the mutant polypeptide of the invention and a peptide or polypeptide comprising an inactivated essential lysine residue for use in treating cancer.

    摘要: A method for measuring autophagosome flux is provided. The autophagosome pool size in a single cell is quantified, where the pool size is the total number of autophagosomes in the cell. Fusion between the autophagosomes and lysosomes in the cell is then inhibited. The autophagosome pool size is quantified over one or more time points after fusion has been inhibited, and the autophagosome flux is calculated as the initial rate of change of the autophagosome pool size at the time point after fusion has been inhibited. The method can be used to determine basal autophagosome flux, whether a cell is diseased or dysfunctional, or to diagnose a subject with a disease, disorder or dysfunction. The transition time, the time required to clear an autophagosome pool, can also be derived from the autophagosome flux. A molecule can also be characterized according to its ability to modulate autophagosome flux in a cell.
