Thrilled to share our work "Recessive PPTC7 deficiency triggers excessive mitophagy to cause a severe inborn error of metabolism with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy" - a collaborative effort documenting the first cases of PPTC7 mutations in humans. 1/n researchsquare.com/article/r…

Really thrilled to share our work on mitochondrial presequence strength @JCellBiol. We establish quantitative parameters to better define "strong" and "weak" presequences in vitro and in vivo. This work was spearheaded by the ever talented Youmian Yan, a grad student in my lab.
Youmian Yan, @IanofBristol, @nieminm et al. define quantitative parameters underlying the strength of mitochondrial-targeting presequences, and demonstrate that yeast require strong presequences to facilitate select metabolic pathways in #mitochondria. hubs.la/Q03-1x5l0

Important to celebrate trainee victories: excited to have @HollyMerta's paper out in @CellReports. We use TurboID sub-organelle proteomics to map the ER network. We discover calmin/CLMN, an ER-to-actin tether regulating focal adhesions & cell motility. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

For #teamtomo, context is everything. We highlight the power of #surfacemorphometrics in guiding STA and quantitatively assessing the impact of these structures on the local environment. @benjaminbarad
Ya-Ting Chang, @nani_grotjahn et al. @scrippsresearch present a membrane-guided approach for identifying a subset of cytoplasmic #ribosomes oriented for protein import on the surface of #mitochondria in budding yeast using #cryoET hubs.la/Q039KqS80

Interested in BNIP3/NIX-mediated mitophagy? Check out our new review, written with @LabFriedman, about recent advances in the field and our thoughts on the regulation of these mitophagy receptors in space and time. doi.org/10.1042/BST20221364

Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain 🥳 Using cryo-electron tomography🔬, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria!  biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🚨 New paper alert from @martenssascha!🚨 We explore how transmembrane cargo receptors initiate selective autophagy. Through biochemical reconstitutions, we discover a new autophagosome biogenesis pathway with implications for therapeutic interventions. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I'm so excited to present my PhD work in this pre-print! We've discovered a novel population of mitochondria which are enriched for MICOS and MYO19 and traffic to the extreme periphery of cells.
New preprint from the lab! Amazing student @madeleinemarlar stumbled onto a very weird population of mitochondria in filopodia with a role in migration. They have very high levels of MICOS and myosin MYO19 at their tips that make them look like meteors! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Really nice new preprint from @LabFriedman and the amazing @TheMitotracker dissecting CCDC51 as a Mdm33 like inner membrane protein that demarcates mito fission events. Congrats!
Human CCDC51 and yeast Mdm33 are functionally conserved mitochondrial inner membrane proteins that demarcate a subset of organelle ... biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_cellbio
