Evidence for the involvement of lipid rafts localized at the ER-mitochondria associated membranes in autophagosome formation [PDF]
, 2016 Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. This membrane scrambling between ER and mitochondria appears to play a critical role in the earliest steps of autophagy.

Mitochondria as a Cellular Hub in Infection and Inflammation
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Mitochondria are the energy center of the cell. They are found in the cell cytoplasm as dynamic networks where they adapt energy production based on the cell’s needs. They are also at the center of the proinflammatory response and have essential roles in

Mice Hemizygous for a Pathogenic Mitofusin-2 Allele Exhibit Hind Limb/Foot Gait Deficits and Phenotypic Perturbations in Nerve and Muscle. [PDF]
, 2016 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), the most common axonal form of hereditary sensory motor neuropathy, is caused by mutations of mitofusin-2 (MFN2). Mitofusin-2 is a GTPase required for fusion of mitochondrial outer membranes, repair of damaged

Parkin is recruited selectively to impaired mitochondria and promotes their autophagy
Journal of Cell Biology, 2008 Loss-of-function mutations in Park2, the gene coding for the ubiquitin ligase Parkin, are a significant cause of early onset Parkinson's disease.

How proteins are transported into mitochondria [PDF]
, 1981 Most mitochondrial polypeptides are synthesized outside the organelle as precursors which are usually larger than the ‘mature’ polypeptides found within mitochondria.

CaMKII induces permeability transition through Drp1 phosphorylation during chronic β-AR stimulation
Nature Communications, 2016 β-adrenergic receptor signaling induces mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening. Here, Xuet al. show that this effect is mediated by phosphorylation of mitochondrial fission protein Drp1 by CamKII, which increases the frequency of ...

Ltc1 is an ER-localized sterol transporter and a component of ER-mitochondria and ER-vacuole contacts. [PDF]
, 2015 Organelle contact sites perform fundamental functions in cells, including lipid and ion homeostasis, membrane dynamics, and signaling. Using a forward proteomics approach in yeast, we identified new ER-mitochondria and ER-vacuole contacts specified by an

Glucose promotes cell growth by suppressing branched-chain amino acid degradation
Nature Communications, 2018 Hypertrophic cardiomyocytes switch their metabolism from fatty acid oxidation to glucose use, but the functional role of this change is unclear. Here the authors show that high intracellular glucose inhibits the degradation of branched-chain amino acids,

A new limit for blood metabolite analysis using 1H NMR spectroscopy
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open, 2022 Human blood is the most widely used biospecimen in the clinic and the metabolomics field. While both mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy are the two premier analytical platforms in the metabolomics field, NMR exhibits several unsurpassed ...
