What we can learn from hungry yeast cells

EMBL Heidelberg and University of Virginia scientists have discovered a curious way in which cells adapt to starvation - a mechanism with potential cancer implications

(PresseBox) (Hamburg, )

Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany and at University of Virginia School of Medicine have revealed a new cellular adaptation to starvation, in which the mitochondria of yeast cells get coated by ribosomes.
Surprisingly, the ribosomes attach to the mitochondrial outer membrane with a very unusual ‘upside-down’ orientation.
The discovery of this mechanism has potential implications for our understanding of how stressed cancer cells survive starvation.


What can stressed yeast teach us about fundamental processes in the cell? A lot, according to scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).
