  • Mitochondria regulate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) size and protein maturation in healthy cells by releasing aspartate, regenerating cytoplasmic NAD+ and ADP-ribosylating the ER stress sensor BiP. In the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis, a deficiency in mitochondrial aspartate in T cells causes an increase in ER size and excess production of the inflammatory mediator tumor necrosis factor (TNF), driving tissue inflammation.
