Msp1-dependent extraction promotes ubiquitylation of translocation-stalled mitochondrial precursor proteins

This study shows that Msp1 and Ubx2 work together to remove stalled mitochondrial precursor proteins by facilitating ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation.

Super-resolution complexome of human mitochondria elucidates translocase, morphology and OXPHOS networks

The paper maps the human mitochondrial complexome at super-resolution, revealing protein complexes, networks, and interactions involved in mitochondrial function and disease.

The multistep quality control of mitochondrial β-barrel protein import

The paper identifies a quality control mechanism that removes faulty mitochondrial β-barrel proteins through cooperation between mitochondrial and cytosolic factors.

The Myo2 adaptor Ldm1 and its receptor Ldo16 mediate actin-dependent lipid droplet motility

The paper identifies Ldm1 and Ldo16 as actin-dependent lipid droplet motility mediators in yeast, showing their roles in LD movement and mitochondrial transport.
