SIRT7‐Mediated H2BK120 Succinylation Drives Aberrant Mitophagy in Sepsis‐Associated Cognitive Dysfunction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sepsis triggers hippocampal SIRT7 loss, promoting histone H2B succinylation and activation of the PD‐1/PD‐L1–PINK1 axis. This metabolic‐epigenetic cascade drives aberrant mitophagy and neuronal injury, ultimately causing cognitive deficits. Targeting SIRT7‐dependent succinylation offers a potential strategy to protect brain function during sepsis ...

Probing the Energy Landscape of α‐Synuclein Amyloid Fibril Formation by Systematic K‐to‐Q Mutagenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We use lysine‐to‐glutamine mutations to study the effect of electrostatics on the kinetics and thermodynamics of alpha‐synuclein amyloid fibril formation. We find that mutational effects map on their structural context within fibrils and identify residues that modulate the energy landscape of alpha‐synuclein self‐assembly. Our work outlines a scalable,
