Biogenesis of Mitochondrial Proteins [PDF]
Numerous components have been identified that participate at various stages in the biogenesis of mitochondria. For many of these components, their specific functions have recently been defined through detailed investigations of the molecular mechanisms underlying protein targeting, translocation across the mitochondrial outer and inner membranes ...

Import of mitochondrial proteins [PDF]
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the structural organization and function of the import systems that mediate protein targeting to mitochondria, and how genetic alterations of these systems contribute to the development of neurodegenerative disorders in humans.

Mitochondrial protein homeostasis [PDF]
AbstractMitochondria use 800–1,500 proteins to perform their biological functions in the eukaryotic cells. Distinct transport and sorting mechanisms are responsible for the delivery of proteins to the correct location within mitochondria. Mitochondrial proteins undergo processing events and form functional assemblies.

Mitochondrial protein import [PDF]
Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins on cytosolic polysomes and are subsequently imported into mitochondria. Many precursors carry amino-terminal presequences which contain information for their targeting to mitochondria. In several cases, targeting and sorting information is also contained in non-amino-terminal portions of

Mitochondrial Redox Signaling and Oxidative Stress in Kidney Diseases
Mitochondria are essential organelles in physiology and kidney diseases, because they produce cellular energy required to perform their function. During mitochondrial metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced.

IRE1 KNOCKDOWN MODIFIES THE GLUTAMINE AND GLUCOSE DEPRIVATION EFFECT ON THE EXPRESSION OF NUCLEAR GENES ENCODING MITOCHONDRIAL PROTEINS IN U87 GLIOMA CELLS [PDF]
We have studied the glucose and glutamine deprivation effect on the expression of nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins in U87 glioma cells in relation to inhibition of inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1).

RNAi-based gene silencing in primary mouse and human adipose tissues
Cultured adipocyte cell lines are a model system widely used to study adipose function, but they exhibit significant physiological differences compared with primary cells from adipose tissue.

Tom70-based transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and aging
Mitochondrial biogenesis has two major steps: the transcriptional activation of nuclear genome-encoded mitochondrial proteins and the import of nascent mitochondrial proteins that are synthesized in the cytosol.

Mitochondrial carrier proteins [PDF]
Ten mitochondrial carriers have been purified from animal mitochondria. They are small proteins with a molecular mass ranging from 28 to 34 kDa on SDS‐PAGE. So far, five of these proteins have been sequenced. Their polypeptide chain consists of three tandemly related sequences of about 100 amino acids.

Mitochondrial nucleoid interacting proteins support mitochondrial protein synthesis [PDF]
Mitochondrial ribosomes and translation factors co-purify with mitochondrial nucleoids of human cells, based on affinity protein purification of tagged mitochondrial DNA binding proteins. Among the most frequently identified proteins were ATAD3 and prohibitin, which have been identified previously as nucleoid components, using a variety of methods ...
