'Flavoursome' and 'delicious'
Discovering a new restaurant to add to your list is always a win. We’ve found one restaurant up a city centre side street and the big portions are enough for two, as community reporter Keimae Blake reports…
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Chinese takeaway so when Hot Wok on St James's Street in the city centre was spotted, I knew I needed to try it. Inside, the small restaurant could probably fit about 3 people inside so it’s a good job there’s a small seating area at the front of the takeaway.Greeted by a lady behind the counter, she asked me how my day was going. After a short chat about how nice the weather was that day, I attempted to find something on the menu.
Eventually, I went for sweet and sour chicken strips with a rice and noodle mix, which came to £11.30 altogether. After paying, I watched one member of staff take out a massive wok and get to work. Once my food was ready, I sat down watching people walking into and out of the Roebuck. The food was hot and tasty.

A small protein coded within the mitochondrial canonical gene nd4 regulates mitochondrial bioenergetics - BMC BiologyBackground Mitochondria have a central role in cellular functions, aging, and in certain diseases. They possess their own genome, a vestige of their bacterial ancestor. Over the course of evolution, most of the genes of the ancestor have been lost or transferred to the nucleus. In humans, the mtDNA is a very small circular molecule with a functional repertoire limited to only 37 genes. Its extremely compact nature with genes arranged one after the other and separated by short non-coding regions suggests that there is little room for evolutionary novelties. This is radically different from bacterial genomes, which are also circular but much larger, and in which we can find genes inside other genes. These sequences, different from the reference coding sequences, are called alternatives open reading frames or altORFs, and they are involved in key biological functions. However, whether altORFs exist in mitochondrial protein-coding genes or elsewhere in the human mitogenome has not been fully addressed. Results We found a downstream alternative ATG initiation codon in the + 3 reading frame of the human mitochondrial nd4 gene. This newly characterized altORF encodes a 99-amino-acid-long polypeptide, MTALTND4, which is conserved in primates. Our custom antibody, but not the pre-immune serum, was able to immunoprecipitate MTALTND4 from HeLa cell lysates, confirming the existence of an endogenous MTALTND4 peptide. The protein is localized in mitochondria and cytoplasm and is also found in the plasma, and it impacts cell and mitochondrial physiology. Conclusions Many human mitochondrial translated ORFs might have so far gone unnoticed. By ignoring mtaltORFs, we have underestimated the coding potential of the mitogenome. Alternative mitochondrial peptides such as MTALTND4 may offer a new framework for the investigation of mitochondrial functions and diseases.
