Retrograde transfer RNA nuclear import provides a new level of tRNA quality control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

abstract：:According to a current "RNA first" model for the origin of life, RNA emerged in some form on early Earth to become the first biopolymer to support Darwinism here. Threose nucleic acid (TNA) and other polyelectrolytes are also considered as the possible first Darwinian biopolymer(s). This model is being developed by re...

We have previously shown that the antioxidant Mn(III) tetrakis(5,10,15,20-benzoic acid)porphyrin (MnTBAP) decreased intracellular ROS and prevented the apoptosis of activated T cells in vitro. To determine the mechanism(s) by which MnTBAP af...
