Abstract

Metabolism and autophagy are closely interconnected, but whether metabolic alterations can chemically modify proteins and influence their selective autophagic degradation remains poorly understood. Our recent findings show that increased S-nitrosylation resulting from the loss of the denitrosylase AKR1A1/SCoR impairs glycolysis and promotes methylglyoxal accumulation, leading to carbonyl modificat…
