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...

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a key commensal of the human gut microbiota, exhibits robust capacity to degrade dietary polysaccharides via carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). However, the exact spatial distribution and the functional coordination of these enzymes remain poor...

Pathological cardiac remodeling in response to sustained pressure overload is a pivotal process in the progression of heart failure (HF), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, limiting therapeutic development. Here, we identify serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) ...

Traditionally, chemical exposure has been assessed by low-resolution mass spectrometry via targeted approaches due to the typically extremely low concentration of such compounds in biological samples. Nevertheless, untargeted approaches are now becoming a promising tool for a broader investigatio...

Naïve human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) that resemble the pre-implantation epiblasts are fueled by a combination of aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, but their mitochondrial regulators are poorly understood. Here we report that, proline dehydrogenase (PRODH), a mitochondria-local...
