🚨 Preprint alert! 🚨
My first first-author manuscript is out on bioRxiv!
We developed a new method to monitor mtDNA quality control in yeast, and found that a functional respiratory chain is crucial for the process. @osman-lab.bsky.social

Local Mitochondrial Physiology Defined by mtDNA Quality Guides Purifying Selection
The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) encodes essential subunits of the electron transport chain and ATP synthase. Mutations in these genes impair oxidative phosphorylation, compromise mitochondrial ATP pr...

🚀 Excited to share our latest work on Mrx6 and mtDNA copy number regulation, now available on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ! We uncover how Mrx6 and Mam33 interact with the Lon protease Pim1 to control substrate degradation. 🔬 Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #mitochondria #mtDNA
Mrx6 binds the Lon protease Pim1 N-terminal domain to confer selective substrate specificity and regulate mtDNA copy number
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number regulation remains incompletely understood, despite its importance in cellular function. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mrx6 belongs to the Pet20-domain-containing ...

Mitochondria consist of networks of cylindrical tubes, right? Not necessarily! - in our new preprint, @gavsturm.bsky.social investigates how mitochondria transiently adopt a beads-on-a-string morphology
