An essential role for an Fe-S cluster protein in the cytochrome c oxidase complex of Toxoplasma parasites.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
The mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) of apicomplexan parasites differs considerably from the ETC of the animals that these parasites infect, and is the target of numerous anti-parasitic drugs.

A biophysical model of the mitochondrial respiratory system and oxidative phosphorylation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2005
A computational model for the mitochondrial respiratory chain that appropriately balances mass, charge, and free energy transduction is introduced and analyzed based on a previously published set of data measured on isolated cardiac mitochondria.

Is impaired energy production a novel insight into the pathogenesis of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy due to biallelic variants in ALDH7A1?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundPyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is due to biallelic variants in ALDH7A1 (PDE-ALDH7A1). ALDH7A1 encodes α-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase in lysine catabolism.

Electron Transport Chain Complex II Regulates Steroid Metabolism

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: The first steroidogenic enzyme, cytochrome P450-side-chain-cleavage (SCC), requires electron transport chain (ETC) complexes III and IV to initiate steroid metabolic processes for mammalian survival.

Mitochondrial morphology is associated with respiratory chain uncoupling in autism spectrum disorder

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with unique changes in mitochondrial metabolism, including elevated respiration rates and morphological alterations.

Endurance exercise training in pulmonary hypertension increases skeletal muscle electron transport chain supercomplex assembly

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation, 2020
Pulmonary hypertension is associated with pronounced exercise intolerance (decreased V ċ O 2 max) that can significantly impact quality of life. The cause of exercise intolerance in pulmonary hypertension remains unclear. Mitochondrial supercomplexes are

Enhancing mitochondrial activity in neurons protects against neurodegeneration in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis

open access: yeseLife, 2021
While transcripts of neuronal mitochondrial genes are strongly suppressed in central nervous system inflammation, it is unknown whether this results in mitochondrial dysfunction and whether an increase of mitochondrial function can rescue ...

Tissue-specific mitochondrial HIGD1C promotes oxygen sensitivity in carotid body chemoreceptors

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Mammalian carotid body arterial chemoreceptors function as an early warning system for hypoxia, triggering acute life-saving arousal and cardiorespiratory reflexes. To serve this role, carotid body glomus cells are highly sensitive to decreases in oxygen
