Kinesin light chain 1 (KLC1) mediates binding of KIF5 motor to specific cargo. Using the yeast two-hybrid screening, we found that mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-1-like protein (Dnm1L) interacted with KLC1, but not KIF5. Dnm1L and KLC1 were co-localized in cultured cells. These results suggest that KLC1 may play a potential role in post-fission mitochondrial transport.

MFN1 (mitofusin 1) and MFN2 are key players in mitochondrial fusion, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria juxtaposition, and macroautophagy/autophagy. However, the mechanisms by which these proteins participate in these processes are poorly understood. Here, we studied the interactomes of these two proteins by using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to insert an HA-tag at the C terminus of MFN1 and MFN2, and thus generating HeLa cell lines that endogenously expressed MFN1-HA or MFN2-HA.

Background: Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is used as a nutritional supplement that inhibits galectin-3 activity, a central player in the cardiac damage associated with different pathological situations. In fact, we have previously observed that MCP improved cardiac function in obese infarcted rats that was associated with a reduction in cardiac fibrosis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to further explore whether this effect could involve the modulation of gene expression of ECM components and their mediators as well as whether it could affect another two mechanisms involved in cardiac damage: mitochondrial dynamics and autophagic flux.

Aflatoxin B1 Promotes Pyroptosis in IPEC-J2 Cells by Disrupting Mitochondrial Dynamics through the AMPK/NLRP3 Pathway.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most toxic mycotoxins in food and feed, seriously jeopardizing the intestinal health, while the effects of AFB1 on intestinal damage remain to be well understood. This study aims to evaluate the effect of AFB1 on intestinal injury by regulating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated pyroptosis . The present study showed that AFB1 led to the formation of large number of bubble-like protrusions on the cell membrane, releasing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β).

Article Synopsis
  • Doxorubicin is an effective anticancer drug but causes dose-dependent cardiomyopathy, leading researchers to study its genetic impact and potential ways to reduce heart damage.
  • Treatment in rats revealed heartbreak-associated damage, including mitochondrial dysfunction and a variety of cellular responses, indicating complex variations in cardiomyocyte resilience.
  • Key findings included the involvement of Abl1 and p53 signaling pathways, with Abl1 showing different regulatory effects in atrial versus ventricular heart cells, hinting at distinct mechanisms of cardiotoxicity.

BipD initiates mitophagy to evade killing by hijacking host KLHL9-KLHL13-CUL3 E3 ligase to ubiquitinate IMMT.

Article Synopsis
  • A certain type of bacteria can hide inside cells and stay safe from the immune system by using tricks.
  • When this bacteria infects a cell, it helps the cell get rid of damaged parts (like mitochondria) to survive better.
  • The bacteria uses a special protein (BipD) to control the cell's recycling process, allowing it to live longer inside the host cell.
