Rational combination platform trial design for children and young adults with Diffuse Midline Glioma: a report from PNOC
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a devastating pediatric brain tumor unresponsive to hundreds of clinical trials. Approximately 80% of DMGs harbor H3K27M oncohistones, which reprogram the epigenome to increase the metabolic profile of the tumor cells. We ha ...
2023Mitochondrial matrix protein LETMD1 maintains thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue in male mice
Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Jun Yong Kim, Maroun Bou Sleiman
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has abundant mitochondria with the unique capability of generating heat via uncoupled respiration. Here, Park et al. identify LETMD1 as a mitochondrial matrix protein enriched in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and reveal a crucial ro ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Role of the cystathionine beta-synthase / H2S pathway in the development of cellular metabolic dysfunction and pseudohypoxia in down syndrome
Background: Overexpression of the transsulfuration enzyme cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS), and overproduction of its product, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are recognized as potential pathogenetic factors in Down syndrome (DS). The purpose of the study was to d ...
ELSEVIER2022Prolyl endopeptidase-like is a (thio)esterase involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain function
Matteo Dal Peraro, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez
Deficiency of the serine hydrolase prolyl endopeptidase-like (PREPL) causes a recessive metabolic disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, feeding difficulties, and growth hormone deficiency. The pathophysiology of PREPL deficiency and the physiologic ...
CELL PRESS2021Investigating Crosstalk Among PTMs Provides Novel Insight Into the Structural Basis Underlying the Differential Effects of Nt17 PTMs on Mutant Httex1 Aggregation
Hilal Lashuel, Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata, Lucien Fabrice Krapp, Anass Chiki, Iman Rostami, Driss Boudeffa, Zhidian Zhang
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) within the first 17 amino acids (Nt17) of the Huntingtin protein (Htt) have been shown to inhibit the aggregation and attenuate the toxicity of mutant Htt proteins in vitro and in various models of Huntington’s disea ...
2021TBK1 phosphorylates mutant Huntingtin and suppresses its aggregation and toxicity in Huntington's disease models
Johan Auwerx, Hilal Lashuel, Laurent Mouchiroud, Lara Petricca, Anass Chiki, Ramanath Narayana Hegde
Phosphorylation of the N‐terminal domain of the huntingtin (HTT ) protein has emerged as an important regulator of its localization, structure, aggregation, clearance and toxicity. However, validation of the effect of bona fide phosphorylation in vivo and ...
2020Cellulose phosphorylation comparison and analysis of phosphorate position on cellulose fibers
David Lyndon Emsley, Jayasubba Reddy Yarava, Michel Bardet, Julien Bras
Chemical modifications of cellulose fibers as pretreatment for cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) production have been investigated to improve the production process and the quality of obtained cellulosic nanomaterial. In this study, phosphorylation of cellulose ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Mitochondrial 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 RESEARCH2020Phosphorylation of the overlooked tyrosine 310 regulates the structure, aggregation, and microtubule- and lipid-binding properties of Tau
Hilal Lashuel, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Anass Chiki, Galina Limorenko
The microtubule-associated protein Tau is implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Increasing evidence suggests that post-translational modifications play critical roles in regulating Tau's norma ...
2020Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dynamics malfunction are linked in Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease
Johan Auwerx, Laia Morato Fornaguera
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a fatal hypomyelinating disorder characterized by early impairment of motor development, nystagmus, choreoathetotic movements, ataxia and progressive spasticity. PMD is caused by variations in the proteolipid protein g ...
