A nuclear-based quality control pathway for non-imported mitochondrial proteins
Mitochondrial import deficiency causes cellular toxicity due to the accumulation of non-imported mitochondrial precursor proteins, termed mitoprotein-induced stress.

Explainable Deep Learning to Profile Mitochondrial Disease Using High Dimensional Protein Expression Data [PDF]
Mitochondrial diseases are currently untreatable due to our limited understanding of their pathology. We study the expression of various mitochondrial proteins in skeletal myofibres (SM) in order to discover processes involved in mitochondrial pathology using Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC).

Stratification of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients Using Gene Expression Data to Reveal Expression of Distinct Immune Pathways [PDF]
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the tenth leading cause of death in females 15-24 years old in the US. The diversity of symptoms and immune pathways expressed in SLE patients causes difficulties in treating SLE as well as in new clinical trials.

Mitochondrial ribosome assembly in Neurospora. Structural analysis of mature and partially assembled ribosomal subunits by equilibrium centrifugation in CsCl gradients [PDF]
In Neurospora, one protein associated with the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (S-5, Mr 52,000) is synthesized intramitochondrially and is assumed to be encoded by mtDNA.

Mitochondrial heat shock protein 70, a molecular chaperone for proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
Mitochondrial heat shock protein 70 (mt-Hsp70) has been shown to play an important role in facilitating import into, as well as folding and assembly of nuclear-encoded proteins in the mitochondrial matrix.

Defects in mitochondrial function activate compensatory responses in the cell. Mitochondrial stress that is caused by unfolded proteins inside the organelle induces a transcriptional response (termed the "mitochondrial unfolded protein response" [UPRmt])

Biochemical and Proteomic Analyses in Drought-Tolerant Wheat Mutants Obtained by Gamma Irradiation
The bread wheat cultivar (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Sagittario) as a parental line and its mutant, drought-tolerant lines (Mutant lines 4 and 5) were subjected to polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought.

MitProNet: A knowledgebase and analysis platform of proteome, interactome and diseases for mammalian mitochondria. [PDF]
Mitochondrion plays a central role in diverse biological processes in most eukaryotes, and its dysfunctions are critically involved in a large number of diseases and the aging process.

Transport of proteins across mitochondrial membranes [PDF]
The vast majority of proteins comprising the mitochondrion are encoded by nuclear genes, synthesized on ribosomes in the cytosol, and translocated into the various mitochondrial subcompartments. During this process proteins must cross the lipid membranes

Mitochondrial Quality Control and Cellular Proteostasis: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of cardiac pathophysiology. Defects in mitochondrial performance disrupt contractile function, overwhelm myocytes with reactive oxygen species (ROS), and transform these cellular powerhouses into pro-death ...
