Stress adaptation of mitochondrial protein import by OMA1-mediated degradation of DNAJC15
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 27 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01756-0Kroczek et al show that degradation of DNAJC15 by OMA1 and AFG3L2 under stress limits mitochondrial protein import and OXPHOS biogenesis. Non-imported proteins lead to the induction of the unfolded protein responses from the endoplasmic reticulum.
