Granzyme A, a Stealth Killer in the Mitochondrion [PDF]
Cell, 2008 The induction of caspase-independent cell death by killer lymphocytes involves the serine protease granzyme A (GzmA). In this issue, Martinvalet et al. (2008) show that GzmA penetrates the mitochondrial matrix without perturbing normal mitochondrial functions. In the mitochondrial matrix, GzmA cleaves NDUFS3 (a component of the electron transport chain)

Genomes, expression profiles, and diversity of mitochondria of the White-footed Deermouse Peromyscus leucopus, reservoir of Lyme disease and other zoonoses. [PDF]
, 2019 The cricetine rodents Peromyscus leucopus and P. maniculatus are key reservoirs for several zoonotic diseases in North America. We determined the complete circular mitochondrial genome sequences of representatives of 3 different stock colonies of P ...

Inverted and mirror repeats in model nucleotide sequences [PDF]
, 2007 We analytically and numerically study the probabilistic properties of inverted and mirror repeats in model sequences of nucleic acids. We consider both perfect and non-perfect repeats, i.e. repeats with mismatches and gaps. The considered sequence models

Skeletal muscle aging and the mitochondrion [PDF]
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2013 Decline in human muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia) is a hallmark of the aging process. A growing body of research in the areas of bioenergetics and protein turnover has placed the mitochondria at the center of this process. It is now clear that, unless an active lifestyle is rigorously followed, skeletal muscle mitochondrial decline occurs as ...

Trypanocidal action of bisphosphonium salts through a mitochondrial target in bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2015 Lipophilic bisphosphonium salts are among the most promising antiprotozoal leads currently under investigation. As part of their preclinical evaluation we here report on their mode of action against African trypanosomes, the etiological agents of ...

Role of the Mitochondrion in Programmed Necrosis [PDF]
frontiers in physiology, 2010 In contrast to the "programmed" nature of apoptosis and autophagy, necrotic cell death has always been believed to be a random, uncontrolled process that leads to the "accidental" death of the cell. This dogma, however, is being challenged and the concept of necrosis also being "programmed" is gaining ground.
