Functional reconstitution of TatB into thylakoidal Tat translocase

The paper functionally reconstitutes TatB into thylakoidal Tat translocase using purified and expressed TatB proteins, demonstrating its role in transport and quantifying its stoichiometry with TatA.

FxR-modulates the gut-vascular barrier by regulating the entry sites for bacterial translocation in experimental cirrhosis

This study shows that FXR agonists reduce bacterial translocation in cirrhosis by stabilizing the gut-vascular barrier and mucus layer.

Characterization of the Novel Mitochondrial Genome Replication Factor MiRF172 in Trypanosoma brucei

This study identifies MiRF172 as a novel mitochondrial replication factor in Trypanosoma brucei essential for kDNA maintenance and minicircle reattachment during cell division.

A molecular model of the mitochondrial genome segregation machinery in Trypanosoma brucei

The paper uses super-resolution microscopy and biochemical analysis to show the hierarchical assembly of the TAC in Trypanosoma brucei, independent of the mitochondrial genome.
