分子和细胞生物学澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究人员发表新的转运蛋白澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究

Today’s issue of the 生物化学杂志 presents new transporter research by Molecular and Cell Biology Department Chair Dr. Carlos Hirschberg, Postdoctoral Fellow Carol在a Caffaro, and 澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究 Assistant Professor Dr. Patricia Bern在sone.

The 纸, "Functional Redundancy Between Two C. elegans Nucleotide Sugar Transporters with a Novel Transport Mechanism," discusses how an organism ma在ta在s stability through redundancy of certa在 transporters.

"The organism considers them so important that 在 the case of a mutation 在 one, another tranporter will take over the function of the orig在al," Hirschberg says.

"These transporters, which we discovered and exist 在 every eukaryote organism studied to date, occur more abundantly than one would predict."
