CBR4 is essential for mice but not for skeletal muscle function

Ali J. Masud, Guangyu Jiang, Kaija J. Autio, Mahbubur Rahman, Irene M. G. M. Hemel, J. Kalervo Hiltunen, Alexander J. Kastaniotis

This study shows that CBR4 is essential in mammals but not for skeletal muscle function, as muscle-specific Cbr4 knockout in mice did not cause measurable defects.

MauE from Calditrichota and Thermodesulfobacteriota reveal a new pathway for disulfide bond formation in bacteria

Cassandra Gonzalez, Antti Moilanen, Kati Korhonen, Nguyen Pham Anh Thu, J. Kalervo Hiltunen, Mirva J. Saaranen, Lloyd W. Ruddock

The paper identifies MauE as a new disulfide bond formation pathway in bacteria, showing it functions like DsbB and is widespread across multiple phyla.

Genetic dissection of the mitochondrial lipoylation pathway in yeast

Laura P. Pietikäinen, Mahbubur Rahman, J. Kalervo Hiltunen, Carol L. Dieckmann, Alexander J. Kastaniotis

The paper characterizes the mitochondrial lipoylation pathway in yeast, showing it can use free lipoic acid and octanoic acid as substrates when activating enzymes are mitochondrial-targeted, and reveals conserved features in mammalian mitochondria.
