Mitochondrial Creatine Kinase Attenuates Pathologic Remodeling in Heart Failure
Yi Zhang, Annina Stuber, Ashish Gupta
BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in cardiac energy metabolism occur in heart failure (HF) and contribute to contractile dysfunction, but their role, if any, in HF-related pathologic remodeling is much less established. CK (creatine kinase), the primary muscle ene ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2022Dissecting the role of the mitochondrial carrier SLC25A47
Transporters of the SLC25 mitochondrial carrier superfamily bridge cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism by channeling metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and are pivotal for metabolic homeostasis. Despite their physiological relevance as gatekee ...
EPFL2022Mitochondrial copper depletion suppresses triple-negative breast cancer in mice
Elena Goun, Arkadiy Bazhin, Min Chen, Ji Qi
Depletion of mitochondrial copper, which shifts metabolism from respiration to glycolysis and reduces energy production, is known to be effective against cancer types that depend on oxidative phosphorylation. However, existing copper chelators are too toxi ...
NATURE RESEARCH2020Pronounced α-synuclein pathology in a seeding-based mouse model is not sufficient to induce mitochondrial respiration deficits in the striatum and amygdala
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Hilal Lashuel, Johannes Burtscher, Jean-Christophe Copin
Increasing evidence suggests that crosstalk between α-synuclein pathology formation and mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies. While mitochondrial dysfunction is a well-studi ...
2020Structure of the mitochondrial import gate reveals distinct preprotein paths
Marilena Wischnewski, Jian Qiu, Thomas Becker
The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) is the main entry gate for proteins(1-4). Here we use cryo-electron microscopy to report the structure of the yeast TOM core complex(5-9) at 3.8-angstrom resolution. The structure reveals the high-r ...
2019Mechanistic insights into AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent gene expression
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental enzyme that controls energy homeostasis, through orchestrating the cellular response to a reduction in energy availability. Under conditions of cellular energy stress AMPK senses the decrease in ATP leve ...
EPFL2019Microfluidic and micromechanical in vivo studies of Caenorhabditis elegans
Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most attractive model organisms in biomedical research for understanding human diseases and for drug testing at a whole-organism level, since many biological pathways and genes have been conserved between itself and hum ...
