This study shows that respirasomes are not essential for maintaining respiratory-chain complexes after their assembly, even under mitochondrial stress or impaired OXPHOS biogenesis.

The paper shows that mitochondrial SAM is essential for processing mitochondrial ribosomal RNA precursors and ribosome assembly.

This study shows that mice with reduced respirasomes maintain normal bioenergetics and physiology, suggesting respirasomes are not essential for basic function but may have other roles.

This paper introduces SILAF, a method for stable-isotope labeling in Drosophila to enable proteomic and phosphorylation site analysis, revealing metabolic regulation and protein turnover.
