Screening for novel RyR2 inhibitors by ER Ca2+ monitoring

M. Takenaka, M. Kodama, T. Murayama, M. Ishigami-Yuasa, S. Mori, R. Ishida, J. Suzuki, K. Kanemaru, M. Sugihara, M. Iino, A. Miura, H. Nishio, S. Morimoto, H. Kagechika, T. Sakurai, N. Kurebayashi

This study identifies three RyR2 inhibitors using an ER Ca2+ monitoring assay, showing they suppress arrhythmogenic Ca2+ waves without affecting normal Ca2+ transients.

Complete loss of mitochondrial complex I genes in mistletoes (Viscaceae) and evidence of polyadenylated mitochondrial transcripts shown by whole transcriptome sequencing

A. Zervas, M. Takenaka, J. H. Leebens-Mack, O. Seberg, G. Petersen

The paper uses whole transcriptome sequencing to show that mitochondrial complex I genes are completely lost in mistletoes and that mitochondrial transcripts are polyadenylated.
