Organelle division and segregation are important in cellular homeostasis. Peroxisomes (POs) and mitochondria share a core division machinery and mechanism of membrane scission. The division of each organelle is interdependent not only on the other but also on other organelles, reflecting the dynamic communication between subcellular compartments, even as they coordinate the exchange of metabolites and signals. We highlight common and unique mechanisms involved in the fission of these organelles under the premise that much can be gleaned regarding the division of one organelle based on information available for the other.

Outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) proteins communicate with the cytosol and other organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum. This communication is important in thermogenic adipocytes to increase the energy expenditure that controls body temperature and weight. However, the regulatory mechanisms of OMM protein insertion are poorly understood.

In the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus subtilis transcription and translation are uncoupled and the translational machinery is located at the cell poles. During sporulation, the cell undergoes morphological changes including asymmetric division and chromosome translocation into the forespore. However, the fate of translational machinery during sporulation has not been described.

Several transcription inhibitors have been developed as cancer therapies. However, they show modest clinical activity, highlighting that our understanding of the cellular response to transcriptional inhibition remains incomplete. Here we report that potent inhibitors of transcription not only impact mRNA output but also markedly impair mRNA transcript localization and nuclear export.

In the present study, we uncovered and validated potential biomarkers related to gout, characterized by the accumulation of sodium urate crystals in different joint and non-joint structures. The data set GSE160170 was obtained from the GEO database. We conducted differential gene expression analysis, GO enrichment assessment, and KEGG pathway analysis to understand the underlying processes.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is highly polymorphic, and host mtDNA variation has been associated with altered cancer severity. To determine the basis of this mtDNA-cancer association, we analyzed conplastic mice with the C57BL/6J (B6) nucleus but two naturally occurring mtDNA lineages, and , where mitochondria generate more oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)-derived reactive oxygen species (mROS). In a cardiac transplant model, Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells supported long-term allograft survival, whereas Treg cells failed to suppress host T effector (Teff) cells, leading to acute rejection.
