MYH9 oligomerizes in the presence of copper ions and is linked to loss of plasma membrane integrity during cuproptosis.
- Why it matters: Cuproptosis is a newly recognized cell-death pathway, and its key molecular drivers are still being defined for pathophysiological relevance.
- What they did: Wu et al. identified MYH9 as a critical molecule by showing it oligomerizes with copper ions and correlates with plasma membrane integrity loss.
- The result: The findings implicate MYH9 as an important mediator of cuproptosis, enabling more targeted mechanistic study of copper-triggered cell death.
