Combinatorial sequence elements fine-tune mitochondrial protein import to facilitate dual localization

Youmian Yan, Lianjie Wei, Thomas Schödl…·Natalie M. Niemi

This study identifies sequence elements that enable dual localization of mitochondrial proteins, showing how combinatorial features regulate import and function across compartments.

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.
