Our study on how mitochondrial methylation shapes gene expression is now out. Using long-read RNAseq and cryo-EM, we uncover two methylation-dependent checkpoints in ribosome biogenesis. Read all about it at: rdcu.be/etk12

Our newest paper on mitochondrial Topoisomerase 1 shows that Top1mt has only weak endoribonuclease activity and it therefore does not often generate deletions at incorporated ribonucleotides. This helps explain why ribonucleotides are tolerated in mtDNA. academic.oup.com/nar/article…

The low endoribonuclease activity and lack of rNMP preference of human mitochondrial topoisomerase...

Abstract. The incorporation of ribonucleotides (rNMPs) into the nuclear genome leads to severe genomic instability, including strand breaks and short 2–5 b

Happy to share a new preprint, in which we describe the mechanism of human tRNA 3' processing. We show why the RNase Z ELAC2 acts as a monomer in the nucleus, but forms a multi-subunit complex in mitochondria. Plase see 🧵 by @BhattaArjun2p for details! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We argued that since the accumulation of mtDNA mutations is progressive, there must be cellular mechanisms that affect their pathogenicity.

We performed a genetic screen in fruit flies and identified several pathways that can rescue a lethal phenotype of mtDNA mutator flies. Looking forward to testing this in a higher species.
