Single nucleotide polymorphism typing of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> reveals focal transmission of Buruli ulcer in a highly endemic region of... (Publications)
Buruli ulcer (BU) is an emerging necrotizing disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. While proximity to stagnant or slow flowing water bodies is a risk factor for
Optimized DNA preparation from mycobacteria (Publications)
Extraction of genomic DNA from mycobacteria requires special consideration because (i) many mycobacterial species exhibit extremely slow growth, and thus produce only small amounts of starting materia
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
