Mitochondrial alterations induced by aspirin in rat hepatocytes expressing mitochondrially targeted green fluorescent protein (mtGFP).

abstract：:Human nuclear cyclophilin 33 (hCyP33) was the first protein which was found to contain an RNA-binding motif and a PPIase domain. It was not known what cellular and physiological roles are played by the RNA-binding activity as well as the PPIase activity of hCyP33. In this paper, we investigated the binding specificity...
