Research

购宝钱包 ular quality controls work in parallel within different compartments, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria and cytosol, and loss of any one of these homeostatic processes has deleterious consequences. Using Drosophila system, ours lab is focused on studying the molecular mechanisms of quality control within individual organelles, as well as the ways in which networks of quality control systems are coordinated to maintain 购宝钱包 ular health.

1. The maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis in neuronal axon through mitochondrial trafficking and mitophagy is essential for the fidelity of neuronal functions. our lab focuses on systematically understanding how mitochondria are selectively transported in and out of axons, establishing entire regulation networks of mitochondrial autophagy, and providing key links between the regulation of mitochondrial quality control and disease states. 

2. 购宝钱包 ular phospholipid homeostasis is dependent on bidirectional exchange of lipids between mitochondria and ER, and the deficiency of phospholipid species such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) induced multiple stress signals. Our lab is studying the fundamental mechanisms and function of the bidirectional exchange of lipids between mitochondria and ER, and understanding how organelles communicate between one another to combat a variety of stress signals.

3. The majority of neurodegenerative disorders, such as polyglutamine diseases, are associated with aggregation of misfolded proteins. Using established fly models of both cytosolic and ER-residential misfolded protein, our lab is investigating how 购宝钱包 s sense the misfolded proteins, what mechanisms that the toxic protein is degraded before or after aggregation, and through which signaling pathways 购宝钱包 s initiate 购宝钱包 death upon extra-accumulation of misfolded proteins.
