Elucidation of the ion transport mechanisms in CorA, a divalent cation transporter. by Nurhuda Nordin.

“…Since the mechanism of transport proposed here is largely based on conserved amino acids and it is comparable between two CorA belonging to different organisms – Thermotoga maritima and Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, we can extrapolate this mechanism to the rest of the family, hence allowing us to understand better the transport mechanism of this divalent cation transporter family.…”

Genetic, genomic and systems biology analysis of adaptive evolution of budding yeast to the deletion of essential genes by Liu, Gaowen

“…Accordingly we showed that the presence of either specific aneuploidies or a specific gene on the aneuploid chromosome was required and sufficient to bypass the lethality of genes belonging to the same functional module. Dissection of the molecular mechanism at the basis of the adaptation showed that cells bypassed the crippled function not by fixing the broken machinery but by tinkering with pre-existing components and using them for novel tasks. …”
