Mitochondrial outer-membrane E3 ligase MUL1 ubiquitinates ULK1 and regulates selenite-induced mitophagy

TL;DR: MUL1, a mitochondria-localized E3 ligase, regulates selenite-induced mitophagy in an ATG5 and ULK1-dependent manner and is demonstrated to provide a new mechanism for the beneficial effects of selenium as a chemopreventive agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deficiency of mitophagy receptor FUNDC1 impairs mitochondrial quality and aggravates dietary-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that dysregulated mitochondrial QC due to defective mitophagy receptor FUNDC1 links with metabolic disorders via MAPK signaling and inflammatory responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal Interactions between Tumor-Associated Macrophages and CD44-Positive Cancer Cells via Osteopontin/CD44 Promote Tumorigenicity in Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: It is found that macrophages, when coinjected or cocultured with CD44-positive colorectal cancer cells, were able to produce higher levels of OPN, which in turn facilitated the tumorigenicity and clonogenicity of the colorec cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cysteine 62 of Bax is critical for its conformational activation and its proapoptotic activity in response to H2O2-induced apoptosis.

TL;DR: It is shown that H2O2 induces Bax conformational change, mitochondrial translocation, and subsequent oligomerization at mitochondria, and a critical role of cysteine 62 is identified in oxidative stress-induced Bax activation and subsequent apoptosis.
