Platelet mitochondrial membrane potential in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveMitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD), which has been reported not to be restricted to striatal neurons. However, studies that analyzed mitochondrial function at the level of selected enzymatic activities in peripheral tissues have produced conflicting data. We considered the electron transport

Decreased Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Activates the Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response
Mitochondria are organelles that make ATP by generating a proton gradient across the inner membrane through the action of the electron transport chain (ETC). The gradient is composed of a membrane potential (Δψm) and a concentration gradient (ΔpH). In addition to energy production, mitochondria are recognized as signaling organelles (Chandel 2015), and

Early steps in mitochondrial protein import [PDF]
The process of insertion of precursor proteins into mitochondrial membranes was investigated using a hybrid protein (pSc1-c) that contains dual targeting information and, at the same time, membrane insertion activity.

Evaluating Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in Cells
Permeant cationic fluorescent probes are widely employed to monitor mitochondrial transmembrane potential and its changes. The application of such potential-dependent probes in conjunction with both fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy allows the monitoring of mitochondrial membrane potential in individual living cells as well as in ...

Non-Mammalian Vertebrates: Distinct Models to Assess the Role of Ion Gradients in Energy Expenditure
Animals store metabolic energy as electrochemical gradients. At least 50% of mammalian energy is expended to maintain electrochemical gradients across the inner mitochondrial membrane (H+), the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca++), and the plasma membrane (Na ...

The cytochrome c import pathway differs markedly from the general route taken by the majority of other imported proteins, which is characterized by the import involvement of namely, surface receptors, the general insertion protein (GIP), contact sites ...

Characterization of Translocation Contact Sites Involved in the Import of Mitochondrial Proteins [PDF]
Import of proteins into the mitochondrial matrix requires translocation across two membranes. Translocational intermediates of mitochondrial proteins, which span the outer and inner membrane simultaneously and thus suggest that translocation occurs in ...
