Dynamics of Mitochondrial Inheritance

Dynamics of Mitochondrial Inheritance: The Role of Phosphatases and Kinases and other key factorsIn Dynamics of Mitochondrial Inheritance researchers from Sheffield University explore the intricate mechanisms that govern mitochondrial inheritance shedding light on the pivotal roles played by phosphatases and kinases and other key factors. This comprehensive work delves into the function of Mmr1 as an essential adaptor that bridges mitochondria and the motor protein Myo2 highlighting the significance of this interaction in the inheritance process.Through meticulous experimentation the authors identify a range of genetic factors influencing mitochondrial inheritance including Dma1 and Cla4 known for their involvement in the inheritance of other organelles such as vacuoles. These findings not only validate the methodologies employed but also pave the way for future research uncovering novel genes that may hold the key to understanding mitochondrial dynamics.This book is an essential resource for researchers and students in cell biology genetics and biochemistry offering a detailed examination of mitochondrial inheritance and its broader implications in cellular function and health.
