Quantitative subcellular reconstruction reveals a lipid mediated inter-organelle biogenesis network

The structures and functions of organelles in cells depend on each other but have not been systematically explored. We established stable knockout ce…

Mitochondrial gene expression is required for platelet function and blood clotting

Platelets are anucleate blood cells that contain mitochondria and regulate blood clotting in response to injury. Mitochondria contain their own gene…

Government grants to support valuable new child health research

Eight The Kids Research Institute Australia-led projects will benefit from the latest round of WA Child Research Fund (WACRF) grants, announced this…

Temporal landscape of mitochondrial proteostasis governed by the UPRmt

Breakdown of mitochondrial proteostasis activates quality control pathways including the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and PINK1/Pa…

Stem cell ‘memory’ discovery offers hope for new disease breakthroughs

Australian researchers have developed a new method to ‘wipe the memory’ of reprogrammed human cells to better mimic embryonic stem cells, in a discov…

ATFS-1 counteracts mitochondrial DNA damage by promoting repair over transcription

The ability to balance conflicting functional demands is critical for ensuring organismal survival. The transcription and repair of the mitochondrial…

Molecular basis of translation termination at noncanonical stop codons in human mitochondria

The genetic code that specifies the identity of amino acids incorporated into proteins during protein synthesis is almost universally conserved. Mito…

Digital RNase Footprinting of RNA-Protein Complexes and Ribosomes in Mitochondria

RNA-binding proteins and mitochondrial ribosomes have been found to be linchpins of mitochondrial gene expression in health and disease. The expandin…

Multi-omic profiling reveals an RNA processing rheostat that predisposes to prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. GWAS have identified variants associated with…

Copy number variation in tRNA isodecoder genes impairs mammalian development and balanced translation

The number of tRNA isodecoders has increased dramatically in mammals, but the specific molecular and physiological reasons for this expansion remain…
