Cowling Basic mechanisms in gene expression are currently being investigated as targets in cancer therapeutics. One such fundamental process is the addition of the cap to pre-mRNA, which recruits mediators of mRNA processing and translation initiation. Maturation ...

Cell culture and in vitro studies have elaborated the PINK1-dependent regulation of Parkin and defined how this dyad orchestrates the elimination of damaged mitochondria ...

Kahana , Nadav Yayon , Ron Weiss , Pamela Menegazzi , Guy Bloch , and Charlotte Helfrich-Förster Pigment-Dispersing Factor (PDF) is an important neuropeptide in the brain circadian network of Drosophila and other insects, but its role in bees in which the circadian clock influences complex behaviour is not well understood. We combined high-resolution ... Read more Open Biology Hidden in plain sight: what remains to be discovered in the eukaryotic proteome? Valerie Wood , Antonia Lock , Midori A. Harris , Kim Rutherford , Jürg Bähler and Stephen G. Oliver The first decade of genome sequencing stimulated an explosion in the characterization of unknown proteins. More recently, the pace of functional discovery has slowed, leaving around 20% of the proteins even in well-studied model organisms without ...

Valerie Wood , Antonia Lock , Midori A. Harris , Kim Rutherford , Jürg Bähler and Stephen G. Oliver Aims and scope Open Biology Open Biology is an online journal that welcomes original, high impact research in cell and developmental biology, molecular and structural biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, immunology, microbiology and genetics. Articles submitted to Open Biology benefit from its broad scope and readership and dedicated media promotion and we also aim for a turnaround time of 4 weeks from submission to first decision.
