Progestins are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, with adverse effects on aquatic organisms' reproduction even at extremely low concentrations (0.8 ng/L). As female germ cells, oocytes play an irreplaceable role in organismal reproductive processes. However, the toxic mechanism of norgestrel (NG...
Mitochondrial heat shock proteins and co-chaperones play essential roles in maintaining proteostasis. They are renowned for regulating unfolded proteins, usually without specific target preferences. In this study, we identified T cell activation inhibitor, mitochondria (TCAIM), as a novel DNAJC-t...
Interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) regulates diverse cellular processes, including antiviral immunity, through its conjugation to target proteins (ISGylation). Increasing evidence suggests that ISGylation can also reshape cellular metabolism; however, how viruses counteract ISGylation-me...
