Current Studies of Mitochondrial Quality Control in the Preeclampsia
Mitochondria are cellular energy powerhouses that play important roles in regulating cellular processes. Mitochondrial quality control (mQC), including mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, mitochondrial fusion and fission, maintains physiological demand ...

GroEL/ES chaperonin unfolds then encapsulates a nascent protein on the ribosome
The bacterial chaperonin GroEL/ES promotes protein folding post-translation by transiently encapsulating client proteins within a central chamber. GroEL also binds translating ribosomes in vivo, implying an additional role in cotranslational folding ...

Pathogenesis of proximal autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
Although it is known that deletions or mutations of the SMN1 gene on chromosome 5 cause decreased levels of the SMN protein in subjects with proximal autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the exact sequence of pathological events leading to ...

Comparative genomics of Burkholderia multivorans, a ubiquitous pathogen with a highly conserved genomic structure [PDF]
The natural environment serves as a reservoir of opportunistic pathogens. A well-established method for studying the epidemiology of such opportunists is multilocus sequence typing, which in many cases has defined strains predisposed to causing infection.

Phytochrome activates the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase for chloroplast biogenesis via nucleus-to-plastid signaling. [PDF]
Light initiates chloroplast biogenesis by activating photosynthesis-associated genes encoded by not only the nuclear but also the plastidial genome, but how photoreceptors control plastidial gene expression remains enigmatic.

Peroxisome biogenesis in Hansenula polymorpha: different mutations in genes, essential for peroxisome biogenesis, cause different peroxisomal mutant phenotypes [PDF]
In Hansenula polymorpha, different monogenic recessive mutations mapped in either of two previously identified genes, PER1 and PER3, produced different peroxisomal mutant phenotypes.

Outer Membrane Biogenesis [PDF]
The hallmark of gram-negative bacteria and organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts is the presence of an outer membrane. In bacteria such as Escherichia coli, the outer membrane is a unique asymmetric lipid bilayer with lipopolysaccharide in the outer leaflet.

The emerging roles of ribosome biogenesis in craniofacial development. [PDF]
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a transient, migratory cell population, which originates during neurulation at the neural folds and contributes to the majority of tissues, including the mesenchymal structures of the craniofacial skeleton.

Somatic piRNA biogenesis [PDF]
Piwi‐interacting RNAs (piRNAs) protect animal germ cells from transposons and other selfish genetic elements. Of the three types of animal small‐silencing RNAs—small‐interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and piRNAs—piRNAs are the least well understood, because we lack good tools for studying how they are made and how they function.
