MAPL is a new mitochondrial SUMO E3 ligase that regulates mitochondrial fission.

abstract：:Ligand-dependent transcriptional activation of retinoic acid receptors (RARs) is a multistep process culminating in the formation of a multimeric co-activator complex on regulated promoters. Several co-activator complexes harbor an acetyl transferase activity, which is required for retinoid-induced transcription of re...
