1. 1. Epigenetic Regulation of Mitochondrial DNA

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Jennie Johansson; [2020]
   Keywords : Acetylation; Epigenetics; Heteroplasmy; Methylation; Mitochondrial haplotype; Mitochondrion; Non coding RNA; Phosphorylation;

   Abstract : This mini-review investigates and compiles the latest knowledge regarding epigenetic changes on the mammalian mitochondrial DNA and its proteins. Methylation of the DNA, acetylation of the proteins and silencing of genes by short non-coding RNAs are the main epigenetic changes known today to affect mitochondrial DNA, mostly leading to repression.

3. 2. Studying the impact of Ketone Ester HVMN on PANC-1 in vitro

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

   Author : Nadin Kureia; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cancer is considered to be one of the top deadly diseases, characterized by uncontrolled dividing of cells and reprogrammed metabolism. Cancer cells usually use high amounts of glucose, so they can produce the required energy for survival and proliferation, this process is called aerobic glycolysis. READ MORE

4. 3. Identification of Novel Regulators of Mitochondrial Protein Quality Control

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

   Author : My Bratbakken Lundvall; [2015]
   Keywords : Mitochondrial Quality Control; Oxidative Stress; Ubiquitin ligases; Ubiquitin; Yeast; Parkinson s Disease; Mitochondria; Paraquat; Oxidative Damage; Superoxides; tillämpad biokemi; applied biochemistry; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Chronic pesticide exposure has been linked to several human diseases including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. Due to the potential risks to human health, the usage of pesticides has been a controversial topic. READ MORE

5. 4. Elucidation of the role of the MICOS complex in signal transduction from mitocondrial DNA nucleoids

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

   Author : Michael Hellman; [2015]
   Keywords : tillämpad biokemi; applied biochemistry; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The MICOS complex protein MicF has recently been identified to play a vital role in the mitochondrial DNA inheritance checkpoint, a control system that halts cell cycle progression in cells lacking mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). We show in this report that another member of the complex, MicA, also plays an important role in the mtDNA inheritance checkpoint as its deletion led to cell cycle progression in cells lacking mtDNA (Rho0 cells).

6. 5. TargetPf: A Plasmodium falciparum protein localization predictor

   University essay from Institutionen för kommunikation och information

   Author : Aditya Rao; [2004]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: In P. falciparum a similarity between the transit peptides of apicoplast and mitochondrial proteins in the context of net positive charge has previously been observed in few proteins. Existing P. falciparum protein localization prediction tools were leveraged in this study to study this similarity in larger sets of these proteins. READ MORE
