Common Structural Patterns in the Maxicircle Divergent Region of Trypanosomatidae

Pathogens, 2020
Maxicircles of all kinetoplastid flagellates are functional analogs of mitochondrial genome of other eukaryotes. They consist of two distinct parts, called the coding region and the divergent region (DR). The DR is composed of highly repetitive sequences

Role of Mitochondrial Nucleic Acid Sensing Pathways in Health and Patho-Physiology

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Mitochondria, in symbiosis with the host cell, carry out a wide variety of functions from generating energy, regulating the metabolic processes, cell death to inflammation.

Cell Biology of the Mitochondrion [PDF]

Genetics, 2017
AbstractMitochondria are best known for harboring pathways involved in ATP synthesis through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Major advances in understanding these roles were made with Caenorhabditiselegans mutants affecting key components of the metabolic pathways.

Dietary Supplementation With High Fiber Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Responses Caused by Severe Sepsis in Mice Without Altering Microbiome Diversity

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
In this study, we demonstrated the effects of a high-fiber diet on intestinal lesions, oxidative stress and systemic inflammation in a murine model of endotoxemia.

Sabotage at the Powerhouse? Unraveling the Molecular Target of 2-Isopropylbenzaldehyde Thiosemicarbazone, a Specific Inhibitor of Aflatoxin Biosynthesis and Sclerotia Development in Aspergillus flavus, Using Yeast as a Model System

Molecules, 2019
Amongst the various approaches to contain aflatoxin contamination of feed and food commodities, the use of inhibitors of fungal growth and/or toxin biosynthesis is showing great promise for the implementation or the replacement of conventional pesticide ...

Cellular Evolution: What's in a Mitochondrion? [PDF]

Current Biology, 2008
Mitochondria and their relatives constitute a wide range of organelles, only some of which function in aerobic respiration. Mitochondrial remnants from different anaerobic lineages show a striking degree of functional convergence.

Mitochondrial Ca2+ and membrane potential, an alternative pathway for Interleukin 6 to regulate CD4 cell effector function

eLife, 2015
IL-6 plays an important role in determining the fate of effector CD4 cells and the cytokines that these cells produce. Here we identify a novel molecular mechanism by which IL-6 regulates CD4 cell effector function.

Cryo-electron tomography reveals novel features of a viral RNA replication compartment

eLife, 2017
Positive-strand RNA viruses, the largest genetic class of viruses, include numerous important pathogens such as Zika virus. These viruses replicate their RNA genomes in novel, membrane-bounded mini-organelles, but the organization of viral proteins and ...

ZmnMAT1, a nuclear-encoded type I maturase, is required for the splicing of mitochondrial Nad1 intron 1 and Nad4 intron 2

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Maturases can specifically bind to intron-containing pre-RNAs, folding them into catalytic structures that facilitate intron splicing in vivo. Plants possess four nuclear-encoded maturase-related factors (nMAT1-nMAT4) and some maturases have been shown ...
