• Hormones #metabolism is intricately linked to #mitochondrial quality-control.
#Hormones regulate both mitochondria & #mitophagy.
• Dysregulated mitophagy contribute to development of #endocrine disorders.
• Targeting mitophagy is an innovative approach for treating ED.

Mutations in PARK15/FBXO7 cause #ParkinsonsDisease. @alsanchezmar @Aitor_Mtz & @whitworth_lab shows that its fly ortholog works antagonistically with USP30 to set the #ubiquitination threshold needed to regulate basal #mitophagy #PLOSBiology plos.io/3qfaUZ1

Journal of Cell Science

Debasna Panigrahi, Sujit Bhutia identify MTP18 as a novel #mitophagy receptor and discover that MTP18-dependent mitophagy has implications in oral #cancer progression.

Exploitation of host cell #organelles by an intracellular #pathogen: #Brucella abortus not only uses the ER to replicate, but later also localizes to and fragments #mitochondria to aid bacterial egress via #mitophagy

How are specific dysfunctional #mitochondria removed under steady-state conditions?

Julia Pagan and coworkers (University of Queensland) show that an #SCF #ubiquitin #ligase based on #FBXL4, mutated in #MTDPS13, limits basal #mitophagy via #ubiquitination of #NIX and #BNIP3 receptors

What controls basal, #Parkin-independent #mitophagy?

E3 #ubiquitin #ligase screen by Sylvie Urbé, Michael Clague and coworkers identifies #VHL and #FBXL4 as negative regulators of mitophagy receptors #NIX and #BNIP3 via transcriptional and direct post-translational mechanisms, respectively
