Authors Makki A, Rehling P Journal Biological Chemistry Citation Biol Chem. 2023 May 9. Abstract Most mitochondrial proteins are nuclear-encoded and imported by the protein import machinery based on specific targeting signals. The proteins that carry an amino-terminal targeting signal (presequence) are imported via the presequence import pathway that involves

Authors Pinkert-Leetsch D, Frohn J, Ströbel P, Alves F, Salditt T, Missbach-Guentner J Journal Cancer Imaging Citation Cancer Imaging. 2023 May 2;23(1):43. Abstract Background: The worldwide increase of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which still has one of the lowest survival rates, requires novel imaging tools to improve early detection and

Authors Rodnina MV Journal Annual Reviews of Biophysics Citation Annu. Rev. Biophys. 2023. 52:161–82. Abstract Faithful translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) into protein is essential to maintain protein homeostasis in the cell. Spontaneous translation errors are very rare due to stringent selection of cognate aminoacyl transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and the

Authors Busley AV, Cyganek L Journal Stem Cell Research Citation Stem Cell Res. 2023 Jun;69:103108. Abstract Patients harboring causative gene variants in RAS GTPase MRAS develop Noonan syndrome and early-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Here, we describe the generation of a human iPSC line harboring the Noonan syndrome-associated MRAS p.G23V variant by

Authors Busley AV, Kleinsorge M, Cyganek L   Journal Stem Cell Research   Citation Stem Cell Res. 2023 Apr 24;69:103105.   Abstract Activating KRAS codon 12 gene variants are known to cause severe RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway hyperactivity and are frequently involved in the development of various carcinomas. Here,

Authors Scholand N, Wang X, Roeloffs V, Rosenzweig S, Uecker M Journal Magnetic Resonance in Medicine Citation Magn Reson Med. 2023 Apr 24. Abstract Purpose: Development of a generic model-based reconstruction framework for multiparametric quantitative MRI that can be used with data from different pulse sequences. Methods: Generic nonlinear model-based

Authors Kraxner J, Köster S Journal Biological Chemistry Citation Biol Chem. 2023 Apr 20. Abstract The cytoskeleton of eukaryotes consists of actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments (IF). IFs, in particular, are prone to pronounced phosphorylation, leading to additional charges on the affected amino acids. In recent years, a variety

Authors Lenner N, Häring M, Eule S, Großhans J, Wolf F Journal ArXiv Citation arXiv:2304.09719. Abstract Finite time convergence to functionally important target states is a key component of many biological processes. We previously found that the terminal approach phase of such dynamics exhibits universal types of stochastic dynamics that
