MESH1-mediated coenzyme A degradation drives ferroptosis sensitivity and muscle pathology.
Journal Article J Clin Invest · June 1, 2026 CoA facilitates fatty acid synthesis, energy production, gene regulation, and antioxidant function. While CoA biosynthesis is well characterized, the mechanisms governing CoA degradation remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the Metazoan Homolog of S ...

Journal Article Nat Commun · May 11, 2026 The peritoneum is a frequent site of metastasis in ovarian cancer (OVCA), often accompanied by the accumulation of ascites in the peritoneal cavity. Despite its prevalence, ascites and its role in the peritoneal growth of OVCA remain poorly understood. OVC ...

Journal Article Nat Chem Biol · April 10, 2026 Biological sulfation reactions require 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) as the universal sulfate donor. While the biosynthetic pathway of PAPS has been well characterized, the phosphatase degrading PAPS remains unidentified. Here, we discover M ... Full text Open Access Link to item CiteRecent Grants
