This is the first eukaryote — organisms, like plants and animals, whose
cells contain distinct
nuclei — found without the
machinery of mitochondria.
Based on the mutated DNA, affected
cells create long strands
of repetitive RNA, genetic material normally responsible for transferring DNA's genetic code outside the
nuclei, to the
machinery that translates it into proteins.
In guarding the
cell against genetic damage, the p53
machinery functions both in the
nucleus of the
cell and in the
cell's gel - like cytosol.
Kriwacki also said that the paper was significant because it emphasizes the importance
of the role that p53 plays in the cytosol
of the
cell, in addition to its role in the
nucleus; his further studies are seeking to map that molecular
machinery in great detail.
