Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms ensuring mito-nuclear compatibility are poorly understood. In a recent study published in Science,1 Frison et al. found that a mouse mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation can escape mitochondrial surveillance in embryogenesis by repressing the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Inhibition of USP30 restored ubiquitin-mediated mitophagy and reduced mutant burden, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for...
