Maintenance of mitochondrial function during stress conditions is vital for cellular survival. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Nielson et al. (2017) characterize a unique domain within Vms1 that allows this protein quality control component to specifically recognize damaged or stressed compartments within the mitochondrial network.

线粒体甾醇氧化标志着现场

应激条件下线粒体功能的维持对于细胞存活至关重要。在本期《分子细胞》中，尼尔森（Nielson）等人。（2017）在Vms1中表征了一个独特的结构域，该结构域使蛋白质质量控​​制组件能够特异性识别线粒体网络中受损或受压的区域。
