PTPMT1 (PTP localized to the Mitochondrion 1) is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase superfamily that is localized exclusively to the mitochondrion. We recently reported that PTPMT1 dephosphorylates phosphatidylglycerol phosphate, an essential intermediate of cardiolipin biosynthesis. To gain further insights into the molecular basis of PTPMT1 function, we determined the crystal structures of the phosphatase domain of PTPMT1. PTPMT1 exhibits a canonical protein tyrosine phosphatase domain fold, resembling many dual-specificity phosphatases such as phosphatase and tensin homolog and vaccinia H1-related phosphatase. We also determined the structure of the catalytically inactive phosphatase in complex with a surrogate substrate, phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate, which sheds light on the substrate recognition and specificity of PTPMT1. Comparison of the apo and substrate-bound structures of PTPMT1 suggests that it undergoes significant conformational change during catalysis, and we further demonstrated that an evolutionarily conserved EEYE loop is important for its activity.

Background: Many cancer cells exhibit aberrant metabolic reprogramming through abnormal mitochondrial respiration. Protein tyrosine phosphatase mitochondrial 1 (PTPMT1) is a protein tyrosine phosphatase localized to the mitochondria and linked to mitochondrial respiration. However, the expression and role of PTPMT1 in regulating the biological characteristics of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has not yet been explored.

Pinpointing Novel Plasma and Brain Proteins for Common Ocular Diseases: A Comprehensive Cross-Omics Integration Analysis.

The pathogenesis of ocular diseases (ODs) remains unclear, although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous associated genetic risk loci. We integrated protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) datasets and five large-scale GWAS summary statistics of ODs under a cutting-edge systematic analytic framework. Proteome-wide association studies (PWAS) identified plasma and brain proteins associated with ODs, and 11 plasma proteins were identified by Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization (COLOC) analyses as being potentially causally associated with ODs.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) plays a significant role in Alzheimer disease (AD), with gene expression being influenced by epigenetic factors and inflammatory cytokines, creating uncertainty in understanding its exact impact on AD.
  • - A meta-analysis was conducted on brain transcriptome datasets, identifying 825 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to MD from a larger set of MD-associated genes, pinpointing several candidate genes in both blood and brain tissues that may be causal for AD.
  • - The findings suggest that MD genes in AD can be regulated through epigenetic modifications and linked to inflammatory pathways, offering potential targets for prevention and treatment strategies against AD.

Primary mitochondrial diseases (PMDs) are among the most common inherited neurological disorders. They are caused by pathogenic variants in mitochondrial or nuclear DNA that disrupt mitochondrial structure and/or function, leading to impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). One emerging subcategory of PMDs involves defective phospholipid (PL) metabolism.

The role of micropeptide in cardiomyocyte proliferation remains unknown. We found that MPM (micropeptide in mitochondria) was highly expressed in cardiomyocytes. Compared to MPM mice, MPM knockout (MPM) mice exhibited reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass, myocardial thickness and LV fractional shortening.
