Nucleic acid and histone modifications critically depend on tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for substrates and co-factors. Although a few TCA cycle enzymes have been reported in the nucleus, the corresponding pathways are considered to operate in mitochondria. Here, we show that a part of the...
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...
The bacterium Roseburia inulinivorans harbors enzymes predicted to be involved in coenzyme A (CoA) metabolism. To experimentally validate the source of pantetheine, we performed an in vitro co-culture of R. inulinivorans with CoA and analyzed metabolomic profiles. The results demonstrated a signi...
