Macroautophagy (also known as autophagy) is a major pathway for selective degradation of misfolded/aggregated proteins and damaged organelles and non-selective degradation of cytoplasmic constituents for the generation of power during nutrient deprivation. The multi-step degradation process, from sequestering cytoplasmic cargo into the double-membrane vesicle termed autophagosome to the delivery of the autophagosome to the lysosome or lytic vacuole for breakdown, is mediated by the core autophagy machinery composed of multiple Atg proteins, as well as the divergent sequence family of selective autophagy receptors. Single-particle electron microscopy (EM) is a molecular imaging approach that has become an increasingly important tool in the structural characterization of proteins and macromolecular complexes. This article summarizes the contributions single-particle EM have made in advancing our understanding of the core autophagy machinery and selective autophagy receptors. We also discuss current technical challenges and roadblocks, as well as look into the future of single-particle EM in autophagy research.

Pairing between two fermionic excitations in a non-Fermi liquid is considered in terms of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We consider the pairing in a Fermi system with vanishing spectral weight. It is well known that the quasiparticle pole in the single-particle Green's function in a Non-Fermi liquid is absent or weak. The examples of such systems can be viewed as the "Marginal" Fermi liquid and Luttinger liquid. Another example that has also been considered is the Fermi system with pseudogap behavior in the spectral weight. Although the pairing between two excitations in a non-Fermi liquid is, in general, absent, nevertheless we show that the Cooper's type of pairing can occur and the conditions for such a kind of pairing are discussed. The results have also been applied to the systems with smeared or non-monotonic Fermi distribution. A system that transits from Fermi-type to Bose-type behavior can serve as an example of such systems as discussed.

AbstractAn approach to the theory of high‐Tc superconductivity is discused in which the semiconductor‐like layers between the copper‐oxide planes are more active participants in the superconductivity. Two types of states appear in the theory, a lattice of negative‐U sites and single particle (positive‐U) dispersive states. The negative‐U sites originate in oxygen vacancies and the single particle states in the copper‐oxide planes. The coupling between these two types of states lead to a two‐fluid superconductivity where the negative‐U sites give rise to a charged Bosonic fluid and the single particle states are a Cooper‐paired superconductor. The coupled Fermion‐Boson model for superconductivity is related both to theories of superconductivity in semiconductor‐metal eutectic alloys, and recent suggestions of s‐channel superconductivity of R. Freidberg and T. D. Lee. Basic aspects of general phenomenology are described. The breakdown of Fermi liquid theory in the normal state results from mixing of Fermions and Bosons at the Fermi energy. When the two‐particle states are filled, anti‐ferromagnetism arises from the positive‐U of the single particle states with a contribution from virtual excitation of two‐particle states. Prediction is made of a large class of superconducting materials based on metal‐semiconductor layering.

The accuracy with which the attachment site of immunolabels bound to macromolecules may be localized in electron microscopic images can be considerably improved by using single particle averaging. The example studied in this work showed that the accuracy may be better than the resolution limit imposed by negative staining (∽2nm).The structure used for this demonstration was a halfmolecule of Limulus polyphemus (LP) hemocyanin, consisting of 24 subunits grouped into four hexamers. The top view of this structure was previously studied by image averaging and correspondence analysis. It was found to vary according to the flip or flop position of the molecule, and to the stain imbalance between diagonally opposed hexamers (“rocking effect”). These findings have recently been incorporated into a model of the full 8 × 6 molecule.LP hemocyanin contains eight different polypeptides, and antibodies specific for one, LP II, were used. Uranyl acetate was used as stain. A total of 58 molecule images (29 unlabelled, 29 labelled with antl-LPII Fab) showing the top view were digitized in the microdensitometer with a sampling distance of 50μ corresponding to 6.25nm.
