Summary: Mitochondrial dysfunction is suggested to be a major contributor for the progression of heart failure (HF). Here we examined the role of syntaxin 17 (STX17) in the progression of HF. Cardiac-specific Stx17 knockout manifested cardiac dysfunction

Successive translocation into and out of the mitochondrial matrix [PDF]
We investigated the import and sorting pathways of cytochrome b2 and cytochrome c1, which are functionally located in the intermembrane space of mitochondria.

Alpha-Synuclein (α-Syn) is a central protein in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies, a group of neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although its role in neurotransmission is well established, the precise role of this protein

A mitochondrial import receptor for the ADP/ATP carrier [PDF]
We have identified a mitochondrial outer membrane protein of 72 kd (MOM72) that exhibits the properties of an import receptor for the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC), the most abundant mitochondrial protein.

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay [PDF]
Mitochondrial function, a key indicator of cell health, can be assessed by monitoring changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Cationic fluorescent dyes are commonly used tools to assess MMP. We used a water-soluble mitochondrial membrane potential indicator (m-MPI) to detect changes in MMP in HepG2 cells.

The Many Shapes of Mitochondrial Membranes [PDF]
The roles of mitochondria in cell death and in aging have generated much excitement in recent years. At the same time, however, a quiet revolution in our thinking about mitochondrial ultrastructure has begun. This revolution started with the use of vital dyes and of green fluorescent protein fusion proteins, showing that mitochondria are very dynamic ...

Isolated mitochondria cannot synthesize their own phospholipids, there is only an exchange between exogenous and mitochondrial phospholipid fatty acids.

A crucial role of the mitochondrial protein import receptor MOM19 for the biogenesis of mitochondria [PDF]
The novel genetic method of "sheltered RIP" (repeat induced point mutation) was used to generate a Neurospora crassa mutant in which MOM19, a component of the protein import machinery of the mitochondrial outer membrane, can be depleted.

Mechanisms of mitochondrial membrane permeabilization [PDF]
devoted to the topic of mitochondria andtheir role in apoptosis. The reviews are provided by some ofthe world’s leading groups working on this importantsubject.An incontrovertable role for mitochondria in inducingapoptosis and controlling cell death commitment has beenestablished. However, for the past several years, con-troversy has abounded as to the

Hsp70 at the membrane: driving protein translocation
Efficient movement of proteins across membranes is required for cell health. The translocation process is particularly challenging when the channel in the membrane through which proteins must pass is narrow—such as those in the membranes of the ...
