Basal BNIP3/NIX mitophagy is controlled by selective protection of sentinel receptors

Abhishek Kumar, Abigail C. Love, Keri‐Lyn Kozul…·Jonathan R. Friedman

The paper identifies ARMC1 as a repressor of mitophagy that interacts with TMEM11, BNIP3, and NIX, and shows TMEM11 antagonizes PPTC7 to protect receptors during mitophagy activation.

PPTC7 limits mitophagy through proximal and dynamic interactions with BNIP3 and NIX

Lianjie Wei, Mehmet Oguz Gok, Jordyn D. Svoboda…·Natalie M. Niemi

This paper shows that PPTC7 limits mitophagy by interacting with BNIP3 and NIX, promoting their proteasomal degradation through dynamic, proximal associations.
