Imaging phenotype reveals that disulfirams induce protein insolubility in the mitochondrial matrix
The cell painting assay is useful for understanding cellular phenotypic changes and drug effects. To identify other aspects of well-known chemicals, we screened 258 compounds with the cell painting assay and focused on a mitochondrial punctate phenotype ...

The age-related loss of protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is at the heart of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, finding ways to preserve proteome integrity in aged cells may be a powerful way to promote long-term health.

We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...

Mitochondrial protein import couples proteostasis failure to mitochondrial permeabilization
Abstract Proteostasis failure is a hallmark of stress and disease, yet how it compromises mitochondrial integrity remains unclear. Here, we identify mitochondrial protein import as a critical pathway linking proteostasis failure to mitochondrial injury.

RNF13 regulates the endolysosomal pathway through interaction with the small GTPase Arl8B
The E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF13 functions as a regulatory scaffold, organizing Arl8B‐dependent complexes and tuning downstream signaling that controls endolysosomal organization and trafficking. In this model, wild‐type RNF13 associates with Arl8B on endolysosomes, whereas Arl8B (E22D/F55A) or RNF13 (L244A) variants weaken complex assembly, potentially ...

Physiological media and oxygen levels modulate cancer hallmarks in cultured breast cancer cells
MCF7 breast cancer cells were cultured in standard conditions (18% O2 and DMEM) and physiological conditions (5% O2 and Plasmax, a medium modeled after the human plasma metabolome). A combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify gene expression signatures at the mRNA and protein levels upstream of functional enrichment analyses ...

Background Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) involves cardiac dysfunction/remodeling with mitochondrial stress and impaired mitochondrial proteostasis. The role of dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) in these processes remains unclear.

TOP1MT rs2293925 is an enhancer‐active regulatory SNP that shapes mitochondrial R‐loop dynamics
This study shows how a common genetic variant of mitochondrial topoisomerase 1 (TOP1MT rs2293925) can influence mitochondrial gene regulation, DNA topology, and formation of noncanonical nucleic acid structures such as R‐loops. By linking this enhancer‐active variant to mitochondrial nucleic acid stress in cellular contexts relevant to amyotrophic ...
