Peroxisomes are essential cell organelles that play a vital role in lipid metabolism and cellular detoxification. To perform these functions, numerous enzymes must be correctly transported into the ...

A protective protein that can detect newly-made incomplete and hence potentially toxic protein chains in higher cells is found to have a relative in bacteria. There, the protein also plays a central ...

Mitochondria are essential for the activity, function and viability of eukaryotic cells and mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney ...

Mitochondria contain about 1,000–1,500 proteins that fulfil multiple functions. Mitochondrial proteins originate from two genomes: mitochondrial and nuclear. Hence, proper mitochondrial function ...

For the first time, the researchers have identified and molecularly characterized the RADAR pathway (“Receptor Accumulation and Degradation in the Absence of Recycling”) in baker’s yeast. This ...
