Translation fidelity is the limiting factor in the accuracy of gene expression. With an estimated frequency of 10-4, errors in mRNA decoding occur in a mostly stochastic manner. Little is known about the response of higher eukaryotes to chronic loss of ribosomal accuracy as per an increase in the...
The ATPase Family AAA Domain Containing 3A (ATAD3A), is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein conserved in metazoans. ATAD3A has been associated with several mitochondrial functions, including nucleoid organization, cholesterol metabolism, and mitochondrial translation. To address its primary ro...
RATIONALE: There is increasing interest in methods of direct analysis mass spectrometry that bypass complex sample preparation steps.
METHODS: One of the most interesting new ionisation methods is rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) in wh...
Increased protein acetylation is frequently observed in the failing heart, including in hearts with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the role of protein acetylation in cardiac metabolic impairments during the pathogenesis of HFpEF remains insufficiently investigate...
BACKGROUND: Protein undernutrition is prevalent mainly among elderly people, and it could develop diseases such as sarcopenia. Urinary metabolites may become biomarkers reflecting protein undernutrition, but this has been insufficiently investigated.
OBJECTIVE:
