This study identifies DeSI1 as a cyclin D-CDK4/6 substrate whose phosphorylation regulates membrane and mitochondrial protein supply during proliferation.

This study shows that loss of metallothionein (MT) in cancer cells increases mutations by impairing DNA repair and causing metabolic imbalance.

This paper introduces SGE, a method for screening metabolic pathways in mammalian cells, and finds that mitochondrial localization and large synthetic DNA constructs are key for successful pathway engineering.
