1. Regulated Proteolysis: The Secrets of Lon : Cellular Roles and Stress-dependent Regulation of the Lon Protease
Sammanfattning : Proteolysis is crucial in cells to maintain a functional proteome. It is required for removal of damaged and unfolded proteins during protein quality control, and serves as a mechanism to regulate protein levels through regulated proteolysis. LÄS MER
2. Structural-functional studies of mitochondrial matrix proteins
Sammanfattning : The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the eukaryotic cell. Most of the energy required to carry out cellular processes is generated inside mitochondria via the process of oxidative phosphorylation. The machinery required for oxidative phosphorylation is encoded by both the nuclear and the mitochondrial genome. LÄS MER
3. On the molecular mechanism of LHCII proteolysis during photoacclimation of photosystem II
Sammanfattning : Higher plants and green algae have a remarkable ability to respond to fluctuations in the light intensity. Plants adapted to low or high light regimes possess larger or smaller light-harvesting antennae respectively. LÄS MER
4. Studies of enzymes in mitochondrial DNA precursor synthesis : regulatory mechanisms for human thymidine kinase 2 and deoxyguanosine kinase
Sammanfattning : As important enzymes in mitochondrial nucleotide salvage pathway, thymidine kinase 2 (TK2) and deoxyguanosine kinase (dGK) are expressed constitutively in almost all cells. These two enzymes catalyze the initial rate-limiting phosphorylation of pyrimidine and purine deoxynucleosides, respectively, providing DNA precursors for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication.

5. Into the Membrane and Beyond : Improving Membrane Protein Over-Expression in Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins fulfil a wide variety of essential functions in the cell and many are (potential) drug targets. Since their natural abundance is usually very low, most membrane proteins have to be over-expressed for functional and structural studies. LÄS MER
