Membrane protein turnover by the m-AAA protease in mitochondria depends on the transmembrane domains of its subunits (Publications)
AAA proteases are membrane-bound ATP-dependent proteases that are present in eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts and that can degrade membrane proteins. Recent evidence suggests dislocation of m
Protein degradation in mitochondria (Publications)
The biogenesis of mitochondria and the maintenance of mitochondrial functions depends on an autonomous proteolytic system in the organelle which is highly conserved throughout evolution. Components of
The dynamics of health and return migration (Publications)
The increasing importance and complexity of migration globally also implies a global increase in return migration, and thus an increased interest in the health of returning migrants. The health of ret
The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts (Publications)
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of
Arginine and lysine transporters are essential for <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
For Trypanosoma brucei arginine and lysine are essential amino acids and therefore have to be imported from the host. Heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants identified cationic am
Long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) ownership, use and cost of implementation after a mass distribution campaign in Kasai Occidental Province,... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) are a highly effective means for preventing malaria infection and reducing associated morbidity and mortality. Mass free distribution campaigns have b
Basics of Medical Statistics (BOMS) (Publications)
Medical students should learn how to form evidence based judgments in concrete problem situations. This requires the ability of understanding scientific publications and of judging the significance an
AAA proteases of mitochondria: quality control of membrane proteins and regulatory functions during mitochondrial biogenesis (Publications)
An ubiquitous and conserved proteolytic system regulates the stability of mitochondrial inner membrane proteins. Two AAA proteases with catalytic sites at opposite membrane surfaces form a membrane-in
