TL;DR: The mechanism of action of this ligand-induced molecular switch, in which changes in the dynamic behaviour of the receptor play a key role, is revealed, which facilitated the evolution of a family of nuclear receptors with highly diverse ligand recognition and signalling properties.

TL;DR: The model suggests that chromosomal DNA falls into two classes: globular DNA (containing unpaired regions for control) and a much smaller fraction consisting of fibrous DNA which alone codes for proteins.

TL;DR: A physiological and heretofore unrecognized role for mitochondrial oxidant release is described and it is suggested that although chronic oxidant production may have deleterious effects, mitochondrial oxidants can also function acutely as signaling molecules to provide communication between the mitochondria and the cytosol.
Abstract: Leakage of mitochondrial oxidants contributes to a variety of harmful conditions ranging from neurodegenerative diseases to cellular senescence. We describe here, however, a physiological and heretofore unrecognized role for mitochondrial oxidant release. Mitochondrial metabolism of pyruvate is demonstrated to activate the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). This metabolite-induced rise in cytosolic JNK1 activity is shown to be triggered by increased release of mitochondrial H2O2. We further demonstrate that in turn, the redox-dependent activation of JNK1 feeds back and inhibits the activity of the metabolic enzymes glycogen synthase kinase 3β and glycogen synthase. As such, these results demonstrate a novel metabolic regulatory pathway activated by mitochondrial oxidants. In addition, they suggest that although chronic oxidant production may have deleterious effects, mitochondrial oxidants can also function acutely as signaling molecules to provide communication between the mitochondria and the cytosol.
