In their recently published study in Science,Li et al.1 unravel how hyperphosphorylation and chromatin-tethering of the double-stranded(dsDNA)sensor cGAMP synthase(cGAS)prevent self DNA recognition during mitosis(Fig....
Eukaryotic cells contain semi-autonomous organelles that have lost most of their coding capacity for essential proteins to the nucleus.Therefore,their functioning depends on the cytosolic translation products of nucle...
The processes of mitochondrial restitution are controlled by nuclear genes that encode proteins synthesized in ER and cytosol and delivered as organelle- and membrane-specific transport vesicles. The analysis of the t...
At12Cys-1 (At5g64400) and At12Cys-2 (At5g09570) are two closely related isogenes that encode small, twin cysteine proteins, typically located in mitochondria. At12Cys-2 transcript is induced in a variety of mutant...
The oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway (OPPP) represents a central branch of cellular metabolism emanating from glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to provide reductive power (NADPH) and sugar phosphates for anabolic bio...
