Oxidative phosphorylation complexes contain subunits encoded by both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. How do cells coordinate the synthesis and assembly of these complexes at the inner membrane? We teamed up with Martin Ott (@mitolab.bsky.social) to address this in two recent papers.

Excited to share our latest study on how K29/K48-branched #ubiquitin chains are forged by the #E3 ligase TRIP12, and how this suggests a consensus mechanism for chain formation by HECT E3s!

TRIP12 structures reveal HECT E3 formation of K29 linkages and branched ubiquitin chains - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
Using biochemistry, chemical biology, and cryo-EM, Maiwald et al. elucidate how TRIP12 forms K29 linkages and K29/K48-linked branched ubiquitin chains, revealing a mechanism for polyubiquitylation sha...

Cup? Platter? Stained glass? Our imaginations were inspired (even during uncertain times!) by these beautiful molecular complexes: the Erlin and prohibitin complexes implicated in quality control at the ER and mitochondria, respectively. Check them out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
