Regulation of mitochondrial DNA homeostasis by a mitochondrial microprotein

Ikram Ajala, Damien Lipuma, Grégoire Bonnamour, Benoît Vanderperre

This study identifies AltSLC35A4, an AltORF-encoded protein, as a regulator of mitochondrial DNA homeostasis by interacting with actomyosin cytoskeletal components and affecting mtDNA spatial distribution.

The dual coding gene SLC35A4 protects against oxidative stress

Ikram Ajala, Imadeddine Tiaiba, Benoı̂t Grondin, Damien Lipuma, Souleïmen Jmii, Hiba Benlyamani, Laurent Cappadocia, Benoît Vanderperre

This study identifies AltSLC35A4 as a dual-coding product of SLC35A4 that does not change during oxidative stress, while the reference protein increases, and shows SLC35A4's role in stress resistance.
