    Abstract Cells must adjust their redox state to an ever-changing environment that could otherwise result in compromised homeostasis. An obvious way to adapt to changing redox conditions depends on cysteine post-translational modifications (PTMs) to adapt conformation, localization, interactions and catalytic activation of proteins. Such PTMs should occur preferentially in the proximity of oxidative stress sources. A particular concentration of these sources is found near membranes where the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondria interact on domains called MERCs (Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contacts). Here, fine inter-organelle communication controls metabolic homeostasis. MERCs achieve this goal through fluxes of Ca

    Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease for which there is currently no cure. Progress in the characterization of other neurodegenerative mechanisms has shifted the spotlight onto an intracellular structure called mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contacts (MERCs) whose ER portion can be biochemically isolated as mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs). Within the central nervous system (CNS), these structures control the metabolic output of mitochondria and keep sources of oxidative stress in check via autophagy. The most relevant MERC controllers in the ALS pathogenesis are vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB), a mitochondria-ER tether, and the ubiquitin-specific chaperone valosin containing protein (VCP). These two systems cooperate to maintain mitochondrial energy output and prevent oxidative stress. In ALS, mutant VAPB and VCP take a central position in the pathology through MERC dysfunction that ultimately alters or compromises mitochondrial bioenergetics. Intriguingly, both proteins are targets themselves of other ALS mutant proteins, including C9orf72, FUS, or TDP-43. Thus, a new picture emerges, where different triggers cause MERC dysfunction in ALS, subsequently leading to well-known pathological changes including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, inflammation, and motor neuron death.

    Abstract The past decade has seen the emergence of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones as key determinants of contact formation between mitochondria and the ER on the mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM). Despite the known roles of ER-mitochondria tethering factors like PACS-2 and mitofusin-2, it is not yet entirely clear how they mechanistically interact with the ER environment to determine mitochondrial metabolism. In this article, we review the mechanisms used to communicate ER redox and folding conditions to the mitochondria, presumably with the goal of controlling mitochondrial metabolism at the Krebs cycle and at the electron transport chain, leading to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). To achieve this goal, redox nanodomains in the ER and the interorganellar cleft influence the activities of ER chaperones and Ca

    Abstract Introduction: Hax-1, the hematopoietic cell-specific protein-associated protein X-1, is an inhibitor of apoptosis, which has been implicated in severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), neurological disorders and cancer. Hax-1 over-expression, as found in numerous types of cancer, results in resistance to granzyme B and caspase-3 and stabilizes the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis, whereas its absence or knockdown promotes apoptosis. Hax-1 is bound to the cytosolic faces of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Interestingly, numerous viral proteins, including the classical swine fever virus N-terminal protease (N(pro)) and human immunodeficiency virus Vpr, interact with Hax-1 and disrupt its normal localization pattern. Recent findings have demonstrated that the localization to the ER allows Hax-1 to modulate calcium signaling via interactions with polycystin-2 and sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPase 2 (SERCA2).
    Areas covered: This review discusses how the interaction of Hax-1 with calcium-handling proteins could dominate over its other roles in apoptosis, since Hax-1 no longer blocks apoptosis on over-expression of SERCA2.
    Expert opinion: To facilitate pharmacological interference with the apoptosis-regulating functions of this protein, a better understanding of the Hax-1 intracellular targeting and protein-protein interactions is needed. Such an improved understanding would allow the generation of small molecule inhibitors that interfere with apoptosis-modulating functions of Hax-1 as seen in SCN.

    Abstract Cells must adjust their redox state to an ever-changing environment that could otherwise result in compromised homeostasis. An obvious way to adapt to changing redox conditions depends on cysteine post-translational modifications (PTMs) to adapt conformation, localization, interactions and catalytic activation of proteins. Such PTMs should occur preferentially in the proximity of oxidative stress sources. A particular concentration of these sources is found near membranes where the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondria interact on domains called MERCs (Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contacts). Here, fine inter-organelle communication controls metabolic homeostasis. MERCs achieve this goal through fluxes of Ca 2+ ions and inter-organellar lipid exchange. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause PTMs of mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) proteins determine these intertwined MERC functions. Chronic changes of the pattern of these PTMs not only control physiological processes such as the circadian clock but could also lead to or worsen many human disorders such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
