Journal ArticleDOI

Human cathepsin O. Molecular cloning from a breast carcinoma, production of the active enzyme in Escherichia coli, and expression analysis in human tissues.

TL;DR: Northern blot analysis of poly(A)+ RNAs isolated from a variety of human tissues demonstrated that cathepsin O is expressed in all examined tissues, which is consistent with a putative role of this protein as a proteolytic enzyme involved in normal cellular protein degradation and turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of OMA1 delays neurodegeneration by preventing stress-induced OPA1 processing in mitochondria

TL;DR: Loss of OMA1 in a mouse model of neurodegeneration stabilizes fusion-active L-OPA1, which supports neuronal survival by preventing apoptosis, independent of its effects on cristae morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of TMPRSS6 by BMP6 and iron in human cells and mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in vitro, treatment with BMP6 stimulates TMPRSS6 expression at the mRNA and protein levels and leads to an increase in matriptase-2 activity, and it is identified that inhibitor of DNA binding 1 is the key element of the BMP-SMAD pathway to regulate TMPR SS6 expression in response to B MP6 treatment.
