Aquatic and semiaquatic mammals have the capacity of breath hold (apnea) diving. Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) have the ability to perform deep and long duration dives; during a routine dive, adults can hold their breath for 25 min ...

What are guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins doing in mitochondria?
The discovery of GTP-binding proteins in mitochondria is a recent event. These regulatory proteins may be participating in membrane fusion and thereby playing important roles in the physiology of the mitochondrion. So far, it has been proposed that GTP-binding protein mediated membrane fusion may be involved in protein import, steroid hormone ...

Metformin induces distinct bioenergetic and metabolic profiles in sensitive versus resistant high grade serous ovarian cancer and normal fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells. [PDF]
Metformin is a widely used agent for the treatment of diabetes and infertility, however, it has been found to have anti-cancer effects in a variety of malignancies including high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC).

Advances in Isotope Labeling for Solution Nucleic Acid Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Recent advances in the field of nucleic acid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are presented. Stable isotope labeling protocols and new approaches to segmentally label nucleic acid with NMR‐active residues are summarized. The novel methods will have a strong impact on the future of nucleic acid NMR and the characterization of structure and dynamics of ...

Multiphasic interactions between nucleotides and target proteins [PDF]
The nucleotides guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) bind to target proteins to promote bacterial survival (Corrigan et al. 2016). Thus, the binding of the nucleotides to RsgA, a GTPase, inhibits the hydrolysis of GTP.

Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]
Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...

Bistable [2]rotaxanes, that incorporate monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene (MPTTF) as the primary station (green) and either hydroquinone (HQ) or xylyl (XY) as the secondary station (red) for the cyclobis(paraquat‐p‐phenylene) ring (blue), can be pushed out of equilibrium and spectroscopic studies carried out on the isolated high‐energy metastable co ...

Evolution of the bacterial nucleosidase PpnN and its relation to the stringent response
In our recent publication (Zhang et al., 2019), we demonstrate an interesting mode of regulation of purine metabolism unique to Proteobacteria. In this microreview, we would like to reflect on the ideas put forward, with special focus on protein domain ...

Sequence heterogeneity and the dynamics of molecular motors [PDF]
The effect of sequence heterogeneity on the dynamics of molecular motors is reviewed and analyzed using a set of recently introduced lattice models. First, we review results for the influence of heterogenous tracks such as a single-strand of DNA or RNA on the dynamics of the motors.
