Examining transfer of TERT to mitochondria under oxidative stress.

The primary role of telomerase is the lengthening of telomeres. Nonetheless, emerging evidence highlights additional functions of telomerase outside of the nucleus. Specifically, its catalytic subunit, TERT (Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase), is detected in the cytosol and mitochondria.

Inward H pump xenorhodopsin: Mechanism and alternative optogenetic approach.

Generation of an electrochemical proton gradient is the first step of cell bioenergetics. In prokaryotes, the gradient is created by outward membrane protein proton pumps. Inward plasma membrane native proton pumps are yet unknown.
