Finding the latter function in mitosomes supports the notion that Fe-S cluster assembly is the only essential function of mitochondria necessary for the maturation of cellular Fe-S proteins. Only in the mitosomes of Entamoeba histolytica the mitochondrion type of Fe-S cluster assembly machinery ...
Their common characteristic is that they lack the aerobic energy conservation system of typical mitochondria and that they are usually the site of the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters, regarded as the only indispensable function of eukaryotic mitochondria. These mitochondria-related organelles exhibit ...
Proteins known to function in amino acid and energy metabolism, Fe-S cluster assembly, flavin-mediated catalysis, oxygen stress response, membrane translocation, chaperonin functions, proteolytic processing and ATP hydrolysis account for similar to 30% of the hydrogenosome proteome. Of the 569 ...
E.histolytica and the gene responsible for producing it.We then elucidated their biological significance in Entamoeba and ex-amined whether this function is conserved in Amoebozoa. Results Sulfolipid-I Is Cholesteryl Sulfate.We previously demonstrated that the sulfate moiety produced by the sulfate-acti...
Mitochondria, hydrogenosomes and mitosomes in relation to the CoRR hypothesis for genome function and evolution. In: Bullerwell CE, editor. Organelle Genetics: Evolution of Organelle Genomes and Gene Expression. Springer; Berlin: 2011. pp. 105–119....
Although this confined metabolic pathway is the major function in E. histolytica mitosomes, their physiological role remains unknown. In this study, we examined the phenotypes of the parasites in which genes involved in the mitosome functions were suppressed by gene silencing, and showed that ...
