MAPL regulates gasdermin-mediated release of mtDNA from lysosomes to drive pyroptotic cell death

1 month 3 weeks ago
Mitochondrial control of cell death is of central importance to disease mechanisms from cancer to neurodegeneration. Mitochondrial anchored protein ligase (MAPL) is an outer mitochondrial membrane small ubiquitin-like modifier ligase that is a key determinant of cell survival, yet how MAPL controls the fate of this process remains unclear. Combining genome-wide functional genetic screening and cell biological approaches, we found that MAPL induces pyroptosis through an inflammatory pathway...

The interactome era: Integrating RNA-seq, proteomics, and network biology to decode cellular senescence

1 month 3 weeks ago
Cellular senescence is a dynamic state in which cells permanently withdraw from the cell cycle while continuing to reshape their internal and external environment. It is characterized by persistent DNA damage responses, chromatin reorganization, and the secretion of a complex mixture of cytokines and proteases collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Transcriptomic and proteomic studies have defined key markers, including CDKN2A, CDKN1A, TP53, and SASP factors,...
