Abstract excerpt
Recent studies highlight the critical role of mitochondria in hematopoiesis, especially in stem cell function and erythroid maturation. To explore mitochondrial contributions to cell lineage commitment of hematopoietic progenitors, we utilized Cars2-mutant mice, an ideal model for this purpose. CARS2, a mitochondrial isoform of cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase, has cysteine persulfide synthase (CPERS) activity. Our new...
