The bridge-like lipid transport protein VPS13C/PARK23 mediates ER–lysosome contacts following lysosome damage Nature Cell Biology - Wang et al. show the recruitment of the lipid channel protein VPS13C and formation of VPS13C-dependent contacts between endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes after lysosomal...

Kinome screening identifies integrated stress response kinase EIF2AK1/HRI as a negative regulator of PINK1 mitophagy signaling Loss-of-function mutations in the PINK1 kinase lead to early-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD). PINK1 is activated by mitochondrial damage to phosphorylate ubiquitin and Parkin, triggering mitophagy. PIN...

Kinome screening identifies integrated stress response kinase EIF2AK1/HRI as a negative regulator of PINK1 mitophagy signaling EIF2AK1/HRI kinase negatively regulates PINK1 mitophagy.

Excited that our work revealing the regulation of PINK1 by ISR pathway, is out now! A new regulatory axis in mitophagy and mitochondrial quality control #mitophagy #Pink1 #mitochondria #ISR #Neurodegeneration
