Nucleic acid and histone modifications critically depend on tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for substrates and co-factors. Although a few TCA cycle enzymes have been reported in the nucleus, the corresponding pathways are considered to operate in mitochondria. Here, we show that a part of the...
To elucidate the function of oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) during B-cell differentiation we employ CD23Cre-driven expression of the dominant-negative K320E mutant of the mitochondrial helicase Twinkle (DNT). DNT-expression depletes mitochondrial DNA during B cell maturation, reduces the abun...
Ageing is a progressive and irreversible biological process characterized by the deterioration of physiological functions and increased vulnerability to mortality. Although extensively studied in vertebrates, ageing in long-lived invertebrates remains comparatively unexplored. While ageing typica...
