Department of Computational Molecular Biology, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Ihnestrasse 73, D 14195 Berlin, Germany
Mol Cell Biol 26:643-53. 2006..Although it is possible that the relatively mild phenotype is a consequence of functional complementation by the Rap1B gene, our genetic studies confirm a role for Rap1A in the regulation of integrins...
NOA1 is an essential GTPase required for mitochondrial protein synthesisMateusz Kolanczyk
Development and Disease Group, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, 14195 Berlin, Germany
Mol Biol Cell 22:1-11. 2011..Thus, NOA1 is required for such basal mitochondrial functions as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and apoptosis...
