The nuclear lamina is a structure near the inner nuclear membrane and the peripheral chromatin. It is composed of lamins, which are also present in the nuclear interior, and lamin-associated proteins. The increasing number of proteins that ...

Any functions of tandem repetitive sequences need proteins that specifically bind to them. Telomere-binding TRF2/MTBP attaches telomeres to the nuclear envelope in interphase due to its rod-domain-like motif. Interphase nuclei organized as ...

Myosin is a mechanochemical transducer and serves as a motor for various motile activities such as cell migration, cytokinesis, maintenance of cell shape, phagocytosis, and morphogenesis. Nonmuscle myosin in vivo does not either stay static...

Initiation of meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated by mating type and nutritional conditions that restrict meiosis to diploid cells grown under starvation conditions. Specifically, meiosis occurs in MATa/MATalpha cells shifted t...

Apicomplexan parasites cause severe diseases such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, and coccidiosis (caused by Plasmodium spp., Toxoplasma, and Eimeria, respectively). These parasites contain a relict plastid-termed "apicoplast"--that originated f...

Mitochondria play an important role in both the life and death of cells. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, providing over 90% of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumed by the cell. Mitochondrial energy production, however, is disr...

Aminoglycerophospholipids phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) comprise about 80% of total cellular phospholipids in most cell types. While the major function of PtdCho in eukaryot...
