Exploring frataxin function [PDF]
AbstractFrataxin is a nuclear‐encoded mitochondrial protein highly conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Its deficiency was initially described as the phenotype of Friedreich's ataxia, an autosomal recessive disease in humans. Although several functions have been described for frataxin, that is, involvement in Fe‐S cluster and heme synthesis, energy

Plant Frataxin in Metal Metabolism [PDF]
La frataxina es una proteína altamente conservada de procariotas a eucariotas. Se han postulado varias funciones relacionadas con el metabolismo del hierro para esta proteína, incluyendo el grupo Fe-S y la síntesis de hemo, la respuesta al daño oxidativo y la fosforilación oxidativa.

Dyclonine rescues frataxin deficiency in animal models and buccal cells of patients with Friedreich's ataxia. [PDF]
Inherited deficiency in the mitochondrial protein frataxin (FXN) causes the rare disease Friedreich's ataxia (FA), for which there is no successful treatment. We identified a redox deficiency in FA cells and used this to model the disease.

GAA repeat expansion mutation mouse models of Friedreich ataxia exhibit oxidative stress leading to progressive neuronal and cardiac pathology [PDF]
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an unstable GAA repeat expansion mutation within intron 1 of the FXN gene. However, the origins of the GAA repeat expansion, its unstable dynamics within different cells and tissues, and ...
