Lysosomes mediate the mitochondrial UPR via mTORC1-dependent ATF4 phosphorylation

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Yang Li, Wen Gao, Xiaoxu Li, Qi Wang

Lysosomes are central platforms for not only the degradation of macromolecules but also the integration of multiple signaling pathways. However, whether and how lysosomes mediate the mitochondrial stress response (MSR) remain largely unknown. Here, we demo ...

Tetracycline-induced mitohormesis mediates disease tolerance against influenza

Elena Katsyuba, Alexis Rapin, Johan Auwerx, Nicola Harris, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Davide D'Amico, Yang Li, Gaby El Alam

Mitohormesis defines the increase in fitness mediated by adaptive responses to mild mitochondrial stress. Tetracyclines inhibit not only bacterial but also mitochondrial translation, thus imposing a low level of mitochondrial stress on eukaryotic cells. We ...

Pleiotropic effects of mitochondria in aging

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Yang Li, Tanes Imamura de Lima

Aging is typified by a progressive decline in mitochondrial activity and stress resilience. Here, we review how mitochondrial stress pathways have pleiotropic effects on cellular and systemic homeostasis, which can comprise protective or detrimental respon ...

Differential role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide deficiency in acute and chronic kidney disease

Joseph Rutkowski, Renuga Devi Rajaram, Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

Background. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a ubiquitous coenzyme involved in electron transport and a cosubstrate for sirtuin function. NAD(+) deficiency has been demonstrated in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods. We studied ...

The RNA-Binding Protein PUM2 Impairs Mitochondrial Dynamics and Mitophagy During Aging

Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Hao Li, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Davide D'Amico, Mario Romani, Francesca Potenza

Little information is available about how post-transcriptional mechanisms regulate the aging process. Here, we show that the RNA-binding protein Pumilio2 (PUM2), which is a translation repressor, is induced upon aging and acts as a negative regulator of li ...

Opposing action of NCoR1 and PGC-1 alpha in mitochondrial redox homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Tanes Imamura de Lima

The ability to respond to fluctuations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell is a central aspect of mammalian physiology. This dynamic process depends on the coordinated action of transcriptional factors to promote the expression of genes encodi ...

Mitocellular communication: Shaping health and disease

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig

Throughout the animal kingdom, mitochondria are the only organelles that retain their own genome and the transcription and translation machineries that are all essential for energy harvesting. Mitochondria have developed a complex communication network, al ...

De novo NAD(+) synthesis enhances mitochondrial function and improves health

Elena Katsyuba, Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Dongryeol Ryu, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Karim Laurent Gariani, Marika Olga Zietak

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a co-substrate for several enzymes, including the sirtuin family of NAD(+)-dependent protein deacylases. Beneficial effects of increased NAD(+) levels and sirtuin activation on mitochondrial homeostasis, organi ...

Mitochondrial stress signalling and its impacts on physiology

Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

Mitochondria are responsible for respiration and energy harvesting across the eukaryotic kingdom. They also take part in other cellular processes like intermediary metabolism. As a result, mitochondrial function directly impacts organismal features such as ...

Mitonuclear communication in homeostasis and stress

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

Mitochondria participate in crucial cellular processes such as energy harvesting and intermediate metabolism. Although mitochondria possess their own genome - a vestige of their bacterial origins and endosymbiotic evolution - most mitochondrial proteins ar ...

The mitochondrial unfolded protein response in mammalian physiology

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Virginija Jovaisaite

Mitochondria, the main site of cellular energy harvesting, are derived from proteobacteria that evolved within our cells in endosymbiosis. Mitochondria retained vestiges of their proteobacterial genome, the circular mitochondrial DNA, which encodes 13 subu ...
