The Biology of Mitochondrial Uncoupling Proteins [PDF]

open access: possibleDiabetes, 2004
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial transporters present in the inner membrane of mitochondria. They are found in all mammals and in plants. They belong to the family of anion mitochondrial carriers including adenine nucleotide transporters. The term “uncoupling protein” was originally used for UCP1, which is uniquely present in mitochondria ...

Glutathionylation of Mitochondrial Proteins

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2005
Many proteins contain free thiols that can be modified by the reversible formation of mixed disulfides with low-molecular-weight thiols through a process called S-thiolation. As the majority of these modifications result from the interaction of protein thiols with the endogenous glutathione pool, protein glutathionylation is the predominant alteration.

Mitochondrial protein import

Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 1990
Most polypeptides of mitochondria are imported from the cytosol. Precursor proteins contain targeting and sorting information, often in the form of amino-terminal presequences. Precursors first bind to receptors in the outer membrane. Two putative import receptors have been identified: a 19-kilodalton protein (MOM19) in Neurospora mitochondria, and a ...

Mitochondrial Proteins Moonlighting in the Nucleus [PDF]

open access: possibleTrends in Biochemical Sciences, 2015
Mitochondria function as cellular energy generators, producing the fuel required to drive biological processes. The response of cells to mitochondrial activity or dysfunction regulates their survival, growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Several proteins that contain mitochondrial-targeting sequences (MTS) also reside in the nucleus and there is

Synthesis of Mitochondrial Proteins

1973
The recent discovery that the ubiquitous energy-transducing organelle of eukaryotic cells, the mitochondrion, contains its own DNA, distinct from that of the nucleus (for recent reviews, see 1-4), has generated intensive investigations in a number of related areas.

Mitochondrial Myopathy with a Defect of Mitochondrial-Protein Transport

New England Journal of Medicine, 1990
The clinical and biochemical heterogeneity of the mitochondrial myopathies is now well established.1 , 2 Recent work has focused on identifying the molecular basis of these disorders and has demons...

Mitochondrial Protein Import

1991
A dynamic picture of the mitochondrial protein import pathway is emerging, with conformational alteration a critical feature both preceding and following membrane translocation. The mediators of these steps of conformational alteration, as well as steps of recognition, translocation, and proteolytic cleavage, appear to be proteins. Using powerful tools

Biogenesis of Mitochondrial Proteins

2012
Depending on the organism, mitochondria consist approximately of 500-1,400 different proteins. By far most of these proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes. Targeting signals direct these proteins into mitochondria and there to their respective subcompartment: the outer membrane, the intermembrane space (IMS), the ...
