Signaling and Regulation of the Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response [PDF]
The mitochondrial proteome encompasses more than a thousand proteins, which are encoded by the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Mitochondrial biogenesis and network health relies on maintenance of protein import pathways and the protein-folding environment.

Open questions on the mitochondrial unfolded protein response [PDF]
Mitochondrial protein homeostasis is crucial for cellular health, and perturbations have been linked to a plethora of human diseases. Proteostasis is maintained mainly by a network of mitochondrial chaperones and proteases, that assist in protein folding and degrade nonfunctional or superfluous proteins.

mtDNA, Metastasis, and the Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response (UPRmt) [PDF]
While several studies have confirmed a link between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and cancer cell metastasis, much debate remains regarding the nature of the alternations in mtDNA leading to this effect. Meanwhile, the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) has gained much attention in recent years, with most studies of this pathway ...

Cardioprotection by the mitochondrial unfolded protein response requires ATF5 [PDF]
The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR mt ) is a cytoprotective signaling pathway triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. UPR mt activation upregulates chaperones, proteases, antioxidants, and glycolysis at the gene level to restore ...

Surveillance-activated defenses block the ROS-induced mitochondrial unfolded protein response. [PDF]
Disturbance of cellular functions results in the activation of stress-signaling pathways that aim at restoring homeostasis. We performed a genome-wide screen to identify components of the signal transduction of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response

The mitochondrial network expands to accommodate cell growth, but how scaling occurs is unclear. Here, the authors show in C. elegans that ATFS-1 mitochondrial import is reduced when mitochondrial proteins are highly expressed, activating the unfolded ...

Signaling the mitochondrial unfolded protein response
Mitochondria are compartmentalized organelles essential for numerous cellular functions including ATP generation, iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis, nucleotide and amino acid metabolism as well as apoptosis. To promote biogenesis and proper function, mitochondria have a dedicated repertoire of molecular chaperones to facilitate protein folding and quality

Decreased Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Activates the Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response
Mitochondria are organelles that make ATP by generating a proton gradient across the inner membrane through the action of the electron transport chain (ETC). The gradient is composed of a membrane potential (Δψm) and a concentration gradient (ΔpH). In addition to energy production, mitochondria are recognized as signaling organelles (Chandel 2015), and

Proteomic Analysis of the Mitochondrial Responses in P19 Embryonic Stem Cells Exposed to Florfenicol
Florfenicol (FLO) has been shown to elicit diverse toxic effects in plants, insects, and mammals. Previously, our investigations revealed that FLO induced abnormal cardiac development and early embryonic mortality in chicken embryos.
