Popis: Trypanosomes undergo extreme physiological changes to adapt to different environments as they cycle between hosts. Adaptation to the different environments has evolved an energy metabolism involving a mitochondrion with an unusual genome. Recently, Aphasizhev and colleagues have identified two new protein complexes, a mitochondrial polyadenylation complex and a guide RNA stabilization complex, that provide novel insights into the coordinated expression of the mitochondrial genome.
