Bulletin Spring 2005: Zhijian Chen, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas - Dallas, TX / Bulletin Sep 2005: Researchers have discovered a surprise lurking inside mitochondria, the power plants that are present in every cell. It turns out that these powerhouses also contain a protein that triggers the immune system to attack viral invaders. According to the researchers, the new role makes perfect biological and evolutionary sense because it fits well with another function of mitochondria as executioners of a biochemical cascade that causes programmed cell death, or apoptosis. "This is the first protein known to be involved in the immune response that is found in mitochondria," said Zhijian "James" Chen, an HHMI investigator at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Chen and his colleagues reported the discovery on August 25, 2005, in an immediate early publication of the journal Cell.
