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 ...

GCN5 maintains muscle integrity by acetylating YY1 to promote dystrophin expression

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Hongbo Zhang

Protein lysine acetylation is a post-translational modification that regulates protein structure and function. It is targeted to proteins by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) or removed by lysine deacetylases. This work identifies a role for the KAT enzyme ...

NAD(+) homeostasis in health and disease

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, Dina Hofer

The conceptual evolution of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) from being seen as a simple metabolic cofactor to a pivotal cosubstrate for proteins regulating metabolism and longevity, including the sirtuin family of protein deacylases, has led to ...

Identifying gene function and module connections by the integration of multispecies expression compendia

Stephan Morgenthaler, Elena Katsyuba, Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Fabrice David, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Daria Rukina, Andrea Komljenovic, Hao Li, Qingyao Huang, Yang Li, Changmyung Oh, Wen Gao

The functions of many eukaryotic genes are still poorly understood. Here, we developed and validated a new method, termed GeneBridge, which is based on two linked approaches to impute gene function and bridge genes with biological processes. First, Gene-Mo ...

Niacin: an old lipid drug in a new NAD(+) dress

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, Dina Hofer

Niacin, the first antidyslipidemic drug, has been at the center stage of lipid research for many decades before the discovery of statins. However, to date, despite its remarkable effects on lipid profiles, the clinical outcomes of niacin treatment on cardi ...

A biosensor for measuring NAD(+) levels at the point of care

Kai Johnsson, Luc Patiny, Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Qiuliyang Yu, Lin Xue

The cellular level of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)), through its different functions, affects cellular metabolism and signalling(1-3). A decrease in the NAD(+) content has been associated with various pathologies and physiological aging(4,5), ...

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 ...

Modulating NAD(+) metabolism, from bench to bedside

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx

Discovered in the beginning of the 20(th) century, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) has evolved from a simple oxidoreductase cofactor to being an essential cosubstrate for a wide range of regulatory proteins that include the sirtuin family of NAD ...

Protein acetylation in metabolism - metabolites and cofactors

Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Hongbo Zhang, Keir Joe Menzies

Reversible acetylation was initially described as an epigenetic mechanism regulating DNA accessibility. Since then, this process has emerged as a controller of histone and nonhistone acetylation that integrates key physiological processes such as metabolis ...
