Translocation and insertion of precursor proteins into isolated outer membranes of mitochondria [PDF]
Nuclear-encoded proteins destined for mitochondria must cross the outer or both outer and inner membranes to reach their final sub- mitochondrial locations. While the inner membrane can translocate preproteins by itself, it is not known whether the outer

Ubiquitin-proteasome dependent mitochondrial protein quality control [PDF]
Dysfunctional mitochondria cause many neurodegenerative disorders and with aging in general, mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control are essential for cellular function.

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)

Mitochondria contain their own DNA, mitochondrial DNA, which encodes thirteen proteins. However, mitochondria require thousands of proteins encoded in the nucleus to carry out their many functions.

Restricted mitochondrial protein acetylation initiates mitochondrial autophagy [PDF]
As nutrient-sensing nuclear/cytosolic acetylation mediates cellular autophagy, we investigated whether mitochondrial acetylation modulates mitochondrial autophagy. Knockdown of GCN5L1, a component of the mitochondrial acetyltransferase machinery, diminished mitochondrial protein acetylation and augmented mitochondrial enrichment of autophagy mediators.

Mitochondrial Protein Homeostasis and Cardiomyopathy
Human mitochondrial disorders impact tissues with high energetic demands and can be associated with cardiac muscle disease (cardiomyopathy) and early mortality. However, the mechanistic link between mitochondrial disease and the development of cardiomyopathy is frequently unclear.

Introduction One of the crucial mechanisms following spinal cord injury is mitochondria-associated cell death. Minocycline, an anti-inflammatory drug, is well known to impede mitochondrial cell death.

Control of mitochondrial biogenesis and function by the ubiquitin–proteasome system [PDF]
Mitochondria are pivotal organelles in eukaryotic cells. The complex proteome of mitochondria comprises proteins that are encoded by nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The biogenesis of mitochondrial proteins requires their transport in an unfolded state

Summary: In mammals, about 99% of mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol as precursors that are subsequently imported into the organelle. The mitochondrial health and functions rely on an accurate quality control of these imported proteins.
