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.

Biogenesis of Mitochondrial Proteins [PDF]
The majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and are imported into the organelle after being synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. During the last years our knowledge of the different stages of this import process of proteins into mitochondria has increased greatly.

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

Horses have one of the highest skeletal muscle oxidative capacities amongst mammals, which, combined with a high glycolytic capacity, could perturb redox status during maximal exercise.

Mitochondrial protein dysfunction in pathogenesis of neurological diseases
Mitochondria are essential organelles for neuronal function and cell survival. Besides the well-known bioenergetics, additional mitochondrial roles in calcium signaling, lipid biogenesis, regulation of reactive oxygen species, and apoptosis are pivotal ...

Structural insight into mitochondrial β-barrel outer membrane protein biogenesis
The Sorting and Assembly Machinery (SAM) complex folds beta-barrel proteins and inserts them into the mitochondrial outer membrane. Here authors report cryoEM structures of the SAM complex from Myceliophthora thermophila, which reveals a GST-like fold ...

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.
