Dynamic disorder is crucial for mitochondrial protein import

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

MICOS and MIMAS, multifunctional assemblies linking mitochondrial biogenesis, architecture, and function

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

Spiroplasma Are Protective Heritable Symbionts With Low Physiological Impact in the Drosophilid Fly Zaprionus kolodkinae

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
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]

open access: yesArchives of Internal Medicine, 1911
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 ...

An updated checklist of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 biting midges from the highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo Une liste mise à jour des moucherons piqueurs de Culicoides Latreille, 1809 des hautes terres de l'est de la République démocratique du Congo

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 422-440, June 2026.
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.
