INTRODUCTION: A decline in mitochondrial function represents a key factor of a large number of inborn errors of metabolism, which lead to an extremely heterogeneous group of disorders.
OBJECTIVES: To gain insight into the biochemical consequences of mitocho...
Ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 (interferon-stimulated gene 15) has been implicated in the regulation of central carbon metabolism, but conflicting findings across experimental systems have limited mechanistic insight. Here, we applied a multi-omics approach in cells ectopically expressing the ISGyl...
Gene duplication is a major driver of biological complexity, yet the persistence of highly similar paralogous factors suggests the existence of context-dependent functions that remain incompletely understood. Certain conserved components of the mammalian RNA processing machinery exhibit striking ...
Prostate cancer (PCa) growth depends on de novo lipogenesis controlled by the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). In this study, we identified lysine methyltransferase (KMT)9 as a novel regulator of PDC activity. KMT9 is localized in mitochondria of PCa cells, but not in mitochond...
Background: Influenza A virus (IAV) causes a wide spectrum of clinical outcomes, from mild symptoms to life-threatening pneumonia. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiota in modulating immune responses and influencing disease sever...
