Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of many biological processes. During spermatogenesis, post-transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial gene expression is mediated by nuclear-encoded mitochondrial RNA-binding proteins (mtRBPs). We identified AMG-1 as an mtRBP required for reproductive success in Caenorhabditis elegans. amg-1 mutation led to defects in mitochondrial structure and sperm budding, resulting in...
