Biogenesis of mitochondria requires the import of approximately 1,000 different precursor
proteins into and across the mitochondrial membranes. Mitochondria exhibit a wide variety …

Mitochondria are central to energy production, metabolism and signaling, and apoptosis. To
make new mitochondria from preexisting mitochondria, the cell needs to import …

Tom70 is a versatile adaptor protein of 70 kDa anchored in the outer membrane of
mitochondria in metazoa, fungi and amoeba. The tertiary structure was resolved for the …

Biogenesis and function of mitochondria depend on the import of about 1000 precursor
proteins that are produced on cytosolic ribosomes. The translocase of the outer membrane …

Mitochondrial biogenesis requires the import of a large number of precursor proteins from
the cytosol. Although specific membrane-bound preprotein translocases have been …

The evolution of mitochondrial protein import and the systems that mediate it marks the
boundary between the endosymbiotic ancestor of mitochondria and a true organelle that is …

Parasitic diseases caused by protozoans are highly prevalent around the world,
disproportionally affecting developing countries, where coinfection with other …

Entamoeba histolytica is believed to be devoid of peroxisomes, like most anaerobic protists.
In this work, we provided the first evidence that peroxisomes are present in E. histolytica …

This review is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the discovery of hydrogenosomes by
Miklós Müller and Donald Lindmark, which we will celebrate the following year. It was a long …

The loss of mitochondria in oxymonad protists has been associated with the redirection of
the essential Fe-S cluster assembly to the cytosol. Yet as our knowledge of diverse free …
