Integrating the response to stressed mitochondria

Mol Cell. 2024 Mar 21;84(6):995-997. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2024.02.026.

Abstract

Chakrabarty et al.1 demonstrate that phospho-EIF2α (pEIF2α), the translation initiation factor that mediates the integrated stress response (ISR), is necessary and sufficient for the autophagic degradation of mitochondria following the addition of mitochondrial stressors.
