Eukaryotic cells have evolved extensive protein quality control mechanisms to remove faulty translation products. Here we show that yeast cells continually produce faulty mitochondrial polypeptides that stall on the ribosome during translation but are imported into the mitochondria. The cytosolic pr...
Double-membrane-bound architecture of mitochondria is essential for its ATP synthesis function; simultaneously such structure sub-divides the organelle into inter-membrane space (IMS) and matrix. IMS and matrix are inherently different in protein folding milieu due to their contrasting oxido-reducti...
The pathogenesis of viral myocarditis is a multifactorial process involving host genetics, viral genetics and the environment in which they interact. Here, we used a model of infection with Coxsackievirus B3 to characterize the contribution of host genetics to viral myocarditis. We determined heart ...
