Adaptation to mitochondrial stress requires CHOP-directed tuning of ISR
Sophie Kaspar,Christian Oertlin,Karolina Szczepanowska,Alexandra Kukat,Katharina Senft,Christina Lucas,Susanne Brodesser,Maria Hatzoglou,Ola Larsson,Ivan Topisirovic,Aleksandra Trifunovic +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an intricate interplay between three transcription factors regulating the mitochondrial stress response: CHOP, C/EBPβ, and ATF4 was reported, showing that CHOP acts as a rheostat that attenuates prolonged ISR, prevents unfavorable metabolic alterations, and postpones the onset of mitochondrial cardiomyopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different faces of mitochondrial DNA mutators.
TL;DR: The role of different repair, replication and maintenance mechanisms that contribute to mtDNA integrity and mutagenesis will be discussed in details in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
CLPP deficiency protects against metabolic syndrome but hinders adaptive thermogenesis.
Christina Becker,Alexandra Kukat,Karolina Szczepanowska,Steffen Hermans,Katharina Senft,Christoph Paul Brandscheid,Priyanka Maiti,Aleksandra Trifunovic +7 more
TL;DR: A critical role for CLPP is demonstrated in different metabolic stress conditions such as high‐fat diet feeding and cold exposure providing tools to understand pathologies with deregulated Clpp expression and novel insights into therapeutic approaches against metabolic dysfunctions linked to mitochondrial diseases.

Deficiency of WARS2, encoding mitochondrial tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase, causes severe infantile onset leukoencephalopathy
Benjamin E. Theisen,Anastasia Rumyantseva,Julie S. Cohen,Wendy Alcaraz,Deepali N. Shinde,Sha Tang,Siddarth Srivastava,Jonathan Pevsner,Jonathan Pevsner,Aleksandra Trifunovic,Ali Fatemi,Ali Fatemi +11 more
TL;DR: The symptomatology of WARS2 is substantially extended by presenting a patient with severe infantile‐onset leukoencephalopathy, profound intellectual disability, spastic quadriplegia, epilepsy, microcephaly, short stature, failure to thrive, cerebral atrophy, and periventricular white matter abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defects in β-cell Ca2+ dynamics in age-induced diabetes
Luosheng Li,Aleksandra Trifunovic,Martin Köhler,Yixin Wang,Jelena Petrovic Berglund,Christopher Illies,Lisa Juntti-Berggren,Nils-Göran Larsson,Per Olof Berggren +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that aging is associated with a progressive decline in β-cell mitochondrial function that negatively impacts on the fine tuning of Ca2+ dynamics, and this is conceptually important since it emphasizes that even relatively modest changes inβ-cell signal transduction over time lead to compromised insulin release and a diabetic phenotype.
