Mechanism of Reduction of Aqueous U(V)-dpaea and Solid-Phase 2 U(VI)-dpaea Complexes: The Role of Multiheme c‑Type Cytochromes

Marinella Mazzanti, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas, Radmila Faizova

The biological reduction of soluble U(VI) complexes to form immobile U(IV) species has been proposed to remediate contaminated sites. It is well established that multiheme c-type cytochromes (MHCs) are key mediators of electron transfer to aqueous phase U( ...

Dopamine and Methamphetamine Differentially Affect Electron Transport Chain Complexes and Parkin in Rat Striatum: New Insight into Methamphetamine Neurotoxicity

Bernard Schneider, Akhil Sharma

Methamphetamine (METH) is a highly abused psychostimulant that is neurotoxic to dopaminergic (DAergic) nerve terminals in the striatum and increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). In vivo, METH-mediated DA release, followed by DA-mediated ...

Structure of the mitochondrial import gate reveals distinct preprotein paths

Marilena Wischnewski, Jian Qiu, Thomas Becker

The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) is the main entry gate for proteins(1-4). Here we use cryo-electron microscopy to report the structure of the yeast TOM core complex(5-9) at 3.8-angstrom resolution. The structure reveals the high-r ...
