Translocation and insertion of precursor proteins into isolated outer membranes of mitochondria [PDF]
, 1993 Nuclear-encoded proteins destined for mitochondria must cross the outer or both outer and inner membranes to reach their final sub- mitochondrial locations. While the inner membrane can translocate preproteins by itself, it is not known whether the outer

THE REVERSAL OF MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1962 An electron microscope study of mitochondria in hamster liver and kidney cells has revealed that at some points the outer membrane of these organelles is continuous with the inner membrane. Also, at such points the discontinuous components of the membrane pairs have free endings.

Cells, 2021 The present review is an attempt to conceptualize a contemporary understanding about the roles that cardiolipin, a mitochondrial specific conical phospholipid, and non-bilayer structures, predominantly found in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM ...

Characterization of Translocation Contact Sites Involved in the Import of Mitochondrial Proteins [PDF]
, 1987 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 ...

STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: Membrane contact sites are recognized as critical means of intercompartmental communication. Here, we describe a protocol for engineering and validating a synthetic bridge between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes to support ...

Early steps in mitochondrial protein import [PDF]
, 1990 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.

Toxins, 2019 Cobra venom cardiotoxins (CVCs) can translocate to mitochondria to promote apoptosis by eliciting mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanism(s) by which CVCs are selectively targeted to the mitochondrion to disrupt mitochondrial function

Hsp70 in mitochondrial biogenesis [PDF]
, 1994 The family of hsp70 (70 kilodalton heat shock protein) molecular chaperones plays an essential and diverse role in cellular physiology, Hsp70 proteins appear to elicit their effects by interacting with polypeptides that present domains which exhibit non ...

Regulation of Mitochondrial Dynamics by Proteolytic Processing and Protein Turnover
Antioxidants, 2018 The mitochondrial network is a dynamic organization within eukaryotic cells that participates in a variety of essential cellular processes, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, central metabolism, apoptosis and inflammation.

MOM19, an import receptor for mitochondrial precursor proteins [PDF]
, 1989 We have identified a 19 kd protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM19). Monospecific IgG and Fab fragments directed against MOM19 inhibit import of precursor proteins destined for the various mitochondrial subcompartments, including porin ...
