Dynamic disorder is crucial for mitochondrial protein import
Abstract The import of proteins into mitochondria poses fundamental mechanistic challenges: aggregation‐prone precursor proteins must be maintained in aqueous compartments and threaded through narrow pores without becoming stuck or mislocalized. Recent evidence from mitochondrial protein import studies and other chaperone systems underscores the ...

Abstract Mitochondrial cristae architecture is central for optimal oxidative phosphorylation and a healthy mitochondrial physiology. The intricate architecture of the inner mitochondrial membrane relies on protein complexes that compartmentalize the membrane by imposing membrane curvature, forming membrane contact sites or membrane subdomains ...

Zaprionus kolodkinae flies carry a maternally inherited ixodetis clade Spiroplasma that protects its host against wasp attack but has low overall physiological impact. Genome analysis presented a set of known symbiosis‐relevant effectors, and one encoding—a ricin B domain protein—that is novel to this Spiroplasma genome.

THE DURATION OF TRYPANOSOME INFECTIONS [PDF]
I. INTRODUCTION It is well known that trypanosomes may be absent for long periods from the peripheral blood of an animal or of a person suffering from an infection by trypanosomes, and that although no treatment has been given. It also frequently happens that the parasites may reappear, after a more or less lengthy absence, in the blood of persons or ...

The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

Stage-specific function of sphingolipid synthases in African trypanosomes
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei is the only known eukaryote capable of synthesizing the three main phosphosphingolipids: sphingomyelin (SM), inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), and ethanolamine phosphorylceramide (EPC).
