Out Now! Updated story on #HRI kinase as a negative regulator of #PINK1 mitophagy. We now show that the small molecule ISR inhibitor #ISRIB boosts PINK1 activation. Collaboration with @LabGanley @Rousseau_Lab @mrcppu & @GlennMasson Click here for paper shorturl.at/G0IzL
Very excited to share our new article reporting that #PINK1 has an impact on mitochondrial homeostasis and basal levels of #mitophagy in mouse skeletal muscles, enabling to study the pathway in mammalian tissues without overt stresses. @mrcppu @LabGanley tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
NEW. We report on small molecule PINK1 activators that prevent the elevated levels of ubiquitin phosphorylation caused by mitochondrial damage. New insights on the future development of PINK1 activators as new treatments for Parkinson's disease. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Very happy to have been able to contribute to this new understanding of PINK1 regulation! Great work @miratul_neuro
Just out! Our new preprint reporting interplay between the HRI kinase #ISR_pathway and #PINK1 #mitophagy_pathway. New mechanisms of #Parkinsons disease. 🙏@mrcppu lab members and collaborators @GlennMasson @Rousseau_Lab @LabGanley #TeamScience bit.ly/40y4Xmt

New paper out! #AMPK regulates #ULK1 to balance #mitophagy of functional vs dysfunctional mitochondria in @MolecularCell. Great work from authors, especially Marianna Longo @AnikethBishnu and collaborators @Kei_Sakamoto @CarolMacKintos1. See it here: tinyurl.com/AMPK-ULK
Thomas Williams @DrTomTORC, Adrien Rousseau @Rousseau_Lab @mrcppu @UoDLifeSciences and colleagues identify distinct TORC1 signalling branches that regulate Adc17 proteasome assembly chaperone production. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

It's great to see our latest story published online! This work has mainly been conducted by my first PhD student, Ailsa Black, who discovered that the ribosome-associated chaperone Zuo1 controls translation upon TORC1 inhibition.

How are specific dysfunctional #mitochondria removed under steady-state conditions? @DienGiang @KeriKozul Yi Cui et al @LabPagan @UQ_News show SCF-#FBXL4 ubiquitin ligase, mutated in MTDPS13, limits basal #mitophagy via #ubiquitination of #NIX and #BNIP3 embopress.org/doi/10.15252/e…
How do FBXL4 mutations lead to encephalomyopathic mtDNA depletion syndrome 13? Hui Jiang et al find mitochondrial loss & perinatal lethality in Fbxl4 KO mice due to increased levels of mitophagy receptors BNIP3 & NIX targeted by SCF-FBXL4 ubiquitin ligase embopress.org/doi/10.15252/e…
