DDX5 and DDX17 are DEAD-box RNA helicase paralogs which regulate several aspects of gene expression, especially transcription and splicing, through incompletely understood mechanisms. A transcriptome analysis of DDX5/DDX17-depleted human cells confirmed the large impact of these RNA helicases on ...

The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the most abundant protein on the outer mitochondrial membrane, is implicated in ATP, ion and metabolite exchange with cell compartments. In particular, the VDAC participates in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca homeostasis. Notably, the Ca efflux out of ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease resulting in the loss of α-motoneurons followed by muscle atrophy. It is caused by knock-out mutations in the survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, which has an unaffected, but due to preferential exon 7 skipping, only partially functional huma...
