The KAT2/HDACⅡa-PGK-ALDO axis constitutes a dual degradation inhibition cascade links energy stress to glycolytic amplification.

A metazoan-conserved dual degradation inhibition cascade whereby energy stress coordinates acetylation-phosphorylation crosstalk that simultaneously enhances glycolytic output and suppresses two protein degradation systems is reported.

p62/SQSTM1: From an autophagy receptor to a condensate organizer of selective autophagy and stress signaling.

Upon exposure to stress, cells activate a variety of stress-response and quality-control mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. Dysregulation of these processes is implicated in numerous diseases, including cancer, liver disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. p62/Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) is a multifunctional protein th...

Proteome stability and dynamic protein complex profiling identified EEF1A1 as a novel translation regulator of autophagy and mitophagy

This work integrates thermal proteome profiling with co-aggregation analysis to monitor protein thermal stability and complex assembly dynamics in response to two canonical inducers: Torin 1, which activates autophagy via mTOR inhibition, and CCCP, a mitochondrial uncoupler that triggers mitophagy.
