F.-U. Hartl, W. Neupert, "Protein sorting to mitochondria: evolutionary conservations of folding and assembly," Science, 247:930-38, 1990. Franz-Ulrich Hartl (University of Munich, Germany): "In this paper we summarize recent progress in understanding the principles of intracellular protein sorting to mitochondria. These `cells' within cells represent an attractive model system for studies of the membrane translocation and assembly of proteins. Mitochondria are derived from endosymbiotic bac

A Periodic Table for Biology
John Torday | Jun 20, 2004 | 5 min read
COOPERATIVE CELLS:Courtesy of Michael CarrollThe evolution of complex biologic organisms began with the symbiotic relationship between pro- and eukaryotes (I). This relationship gave rise to mitochondria (II), and the resulting diversity of unicellular organisms (III) led to their metabolic cooperativity (IV) mediated by ligand-receptor interactions and cell-cell signaling. Natural selection generated an increasing complexity (V). Failed homeostatic signaling (VI) recapitulates hylogeny/ontogeny
