Dysregulation of mitochondrial function by PLK1-mediated PDHA1 phosphorylation promotes Cr(VI)-associated lung cancer progression

Q. ZHANG, Z. Li, X. Rao, D. B. Allison, Q. Qiao, Z. Zhang, Y. Kong, Y. Zhang, R. Wang, J. Liu, X. Wang, C. Li, F. Mao, W. Katz, Q. Shao, , X. Liu

This study shows that PLK1-mediated PDHA1 phosphorylation impairs mitochondrial function and promotes Cr(VI)-induced lung cancer progression by disrupting energy metabolism and apoptosis.

Endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation preserves hematopoietic stem cell quiescence and self-renewal by restricting mTOR activity

L. Liu, A. Inoki, K. Fan, F. Mao, G. Shi, X. Jin, M. Zhao, G. Ney, S. Sun, Y. Dou, K. Inoki, L. Qi, Q. Li

This study shows that ERAD preserves HSC quiescence and self-renewal by restricting mTOR activity, preventing HSC depletion and hyper-proliferation.
