From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedChemotherapy drugs have been prescribed for the systemic treatment of cancer. We selected three chemotherapy drugs, including methotrexate, mitomycine C and vincristine to inhibit the proliferation of HT1080 human...

From:Diabetes (Vol. 56, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in controlling energy homeostasis and is envisioned as a promising target to treat metabolic disorders. In the heart, AMPK is involved in short-term regulation...

From:eLife (Vol. 8) Peer-ReviewedThe mitochondrial ATP synthase fuels eukaryotic cells with chemical energy. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of a divergent ATP synthase dimer from mitochondria of Euglena gracilis, a member of the phylum Euglenozoa...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedHereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a group of neurological disorders characterized clinically by spasticity of lower limbs and pathologically by degeneration of the corticospinal tract. Troyer syndrome is an...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedProtein Tyrosine Phosphatase localized to the Mitochondrion 1 (PTPMT1) is a dual specificity phosphatase exclusively localized to the mitochondria, and has recently been shown to be a critical component in the...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe autoimmune disease antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), along with anti-[beta].sub.2 -glycoprotein I ([beta].sub.2 GPI) antibodies and lupus...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedCobra venom cytotoxins are basic three-fingered, amphipathic, non-enzymatic proteins that constitute a major fraction of cobra venom. While cytotoxins cause mitochondrial dysfunction in different cell types, the...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Antibodies against cardiolipin and phosphatidylserine (anti-CL and anti-PS) are associated with thrombosis. In contrast, we determined that IgM antibodies against oxidized CL and PS (OxCL and OxPS) and...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe release of cytochrome c from the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it is anchored by caridolipin, triggers the formation of the Apaf-1 apoptosome. Cardiolipin also interacts with NLRP3 recruiting NLRP3 to...

From:Journal of Anesthesia (Vol. 24, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedMembranous lipid bilayers have been reconsidered as the site of action of local anesthetics (LAs). Recent understanding of biomembranes indicates the existence of lipid raft microdomains enriched in cholesterol and...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 13, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAmphiphilic aminoglycoside derivatives are promising new antibacterials active against Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including colistin resistant strains. In this study, we demonstrated that...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedUbiquinone (Q.sub.n) functions as a mobile electron carrier in mitochondria. In humans, Q biosynthetic pathway mutations lead to Q.sub.10 deficiency, a life threatening disorder. We have used a Saccharomyces cerevisiae...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedCardiolipin is a phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane and in bacteria, and it is associated with many physiological functions. Cardiolipin has a dimeric structure consisting of two phosphatidyl...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedCardiolipin (CL) is an inner mitochondrial membrane phospholipid which plays an important role in mitochondrial function. Perturbation in CL biosynthesis alters mitochondrial bioenergetics causing a severe genetic...
-
From:eLife (Vol. 10) Peer-ReviewedDynamins are targeted to specific cellular membranes that they remodel via membrane fusion or fission. The molecular basis of conferring specificity to dynamins for their target membrane selection is not known. Here, we...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedSIRT3 and SIRT5 have been shown to regulate mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation but the molecular mechanisms behind the regulation are lacking. Here, we demonstrate that SIRT3 and SIRT5 both target human very long-chain...
