Quality control of the mitochondrion. [PDF]
Mitochondria are essential organelles that execute and coordinate various metabolic processes in the cell. Mitochondrial dysfunction severely affects cell fitness and contributes to disease. Proper organellar function depends on the biogenesis and maintenance of mitochondria and its >1,000 proteins.

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.

Mitochondrion-Specific Blinking Fluorescent Bioprobe for Nanoscopic Monitoring of Mitophagy.
Dynamic changes of mitochondrial morphology play an important role in cellular metabolism. Real-time monitoring mitochondrial ultrastructural dynamics at nanometer-scale resolution is crucially desired on the further understanding of the mitochondria ...

A Peroxisomal Lon Protease and Peroxisome Degradation by Autophagy Play Key Roles in Vitality of Hansenula polymorpha Cells [PDF]
In eukaryote cells various mechanisms exist that are responsible for the removal of non-functional proteins. Here we show that in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (H.

The Roles of Mitochondrion in Intergenomic Gene Transfer in Plants: A Source and a Pool
Intergenomic gene transfer (IGT) is continuous in the evolutionary history of plants. In this field, most studies concentrate on a few related species. Here, we look at IGT from a broader evolutionary perspective, using 24 plants.

The balance between fumarate and malate plays an important role in plant development and postharvest quality in tomato fruit [PDF]
Organic acids, produced as intermediates of the tricarboxylic cycle, play a crucial role in the plant primary metabolism and are considered as being ones of the most important quality traits in edible fruits.
