The first atomic resolution structure of a mitochondrial respiratory complex from plants provides insight into the assembly and evolution of respiration in autotrophic eukaryotes.

Cytosolic and organellar Hsp90s from higher eukaryotes have evolved a variable, and environmentally responsive N-terminal extension to regulate their activity.
Live-cell imaging and biochemical studies reveal that bradyzoites exhibit reduced Ca2+ stores, dampened calcium responses, and reduced energy levels consistent with their quiescent sate, but that they rapidly respond to environmental conditions to emerge from dormancy.

In Escherichia coli structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex, MukBEF, a dimeric MukF kleisin binds and activates MukB SMC ATPases through two independent interfaces provided by distinct MukF N- and C-terminal domains.
