Abstract
The accumulation of damaged mitochondria in the heart is associated with heart failure. Mitophagy is an autophagic degradation system that specifically targets damaged mitochondria. We have reported previously that Bcl2-like protein 13 (Bcl2-L-13) mediates mitophagy and mitochondrial fission in mammalian cells. However, the in vivo function of Bcl2-L-13 remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Bcl2-L-13-deficient mice and knockin mice, in which the phosphorylation site (Ser272) on Bcl2-L-13 was changed to Ala, showed left ventricular dysfunction in response to pressure overload. Attenuation of mitochondrial fission and mitophagy led to impairment of ATP production in these mouse hearts. In addition, we identified AMPKα2 as the kinase responsible for the phosphorylation of Bcl2-L-13 at Ser272. These results indicate that Bcl2-L-13 and its phosphorylation play an important role in maintaining cardiac function. Furthermore, the amplitude of stress-stimulated mitophagic activity could be modulated by AMPKα2.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
