Is population frequency a useful criterion to assign pathogenicity to newly described mitochondrial DNA variants?

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Population frequency has been one of the most widely used criteria to help assign pathogenicity to newly described mitochondrial DNA variants. However, after sequencing this molecule in thousands of healthy individuals, it has been observed that a very ...

Determination of the boundary lipids of sticholysins using tryptophan quenching

Scientific Reports, 2022
Sticholysins are α-pore-forming toxins produced by the sea-anemone Stichodactyla helianthus. These toxins exert their activity by forming pores on sphingomyelin-containing membranes.

Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy is improved in the absence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor

Scientific Reports, 2022
The liver is among the few organs having the ability to self-regenerate in response to a severe damage compromising its functionality. The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) is a transcription factor relevant for the detoxification of xenobiotics but also ...

Role of the Dihydrodipicolinate Synthase DapA1 on Iron Homeostasis During Cyanide Assimilation by the Alkaliphilic Bacterium Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Cyanide is a toxic compound widely used in mining and jewelry industries, as well as in the synthesis of many different chemicals. Cyanide toxicity derives from its high affinity for metals, which causes inhibition of relevant metalloenzymes.
