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.

Transport of Cytoplasmically Synthesized Proteins into the Mitochondria in a Cell Free System from Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Synthesis and transport of mitochondrial proteins were followed in a cell-free homogenate of Neurospora crassa in which mitochondrial translation was inhibited. Proteins synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes are transferred into the mitochondrial fraction.

Sorting of exclusive mitochondrial proteins from the Mitoproteome database
World Wide Web and scientific literature record information regarding several organelles and mitochondria is not an exception. However, currently mitochondrial databases also provide information about non-mitochondrial proteins.

Alterations of the mitochondrial proteome caused by the absence of mitochondrial DNA: A proteomic view [PDF]
The proper functioning of mitochondria requires that both the mitochondrial and the nuclear genome are functional. To investigate the importance of the mitochondrial genome, which encodes only 13 subunits of the respiratory complexes, the mitochondrial ...

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 molecular chaperones [PDF]
After synthesis in the cytosol, most mitochondrial proteins must traverse mitochondrial membranes to reach their functional location. During this process, proteins become unfolded and then refold to attain their native conformation after crossing the ...

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.

Dual targeted mitochondrial proteins are characterized by lower MTS parameters and total net charge. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In eukaryotic cells, identical proteins can be located in different subcellular compartments (termed dual-targeted proteins). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We divided a reference set of mitochondrial proteins (published single gene studies)
