Dr. Ma's team found that chemical modification of RNA (called RNA methylation) regulates mitochondrial function. Mitochondria ...

Similarly, a homoplasmic mutation in a mitochondrial genome-encoded ribosomal RNA, called RNR1, causes postlingual deafness (deafness that occurs after three years of age, when a child has already ...

Mitochondria produce some of the proteins they need themselves—with the help of special protein factories called mitoribosomes, which consist of RNA and proteins. Researchers in Göttingen have ...

Blum, B., Bakalara, N. & Simpson, L. A model for RNA editing in kinetoplastid mitochondria: RNA molecules transcribed from maxicircle DNA provide the edited information. Cell 60, 189–198 (1990).

To answer it, he and his colleagues first used various staining techniques to establish that both RNA-binding proteins and mRNA are colocalized with mitochondria in mouse, pig, cow, and human oocytes.

1 He and his team administered a short term high fat diet to mice before profiling sperm RNA expression changes and investigating offspring health. They found that the acute high fat diet induced ...

We have elected to study this process in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum (Pp), which carries out the widest range of RNA editing events yet described. These changes to mitochondrial RNAs involve ...

elegans mitochondrial factor WAH-1 promotes phosphatidylserine externalization in apoptotic cells through phospholipid scramblase SCRM-1 Xiaochen Wang1, Jin Wang2, Keiko Gengyo-Ando3, Lichuan Gu4, ...

This paper presents the important finding that BNIP3/NIX, a mitophagy receptor, and its binding to ATG18 are required for mitophagy during muscle cell reorganization in Drosophila. Although the ...
