Identification of Fis1 Interactors in
Toxoplasma gondii’s single mitochondrion is very dynamic and undergoes morphological changes throughout the parasite’s life cycle. During parasite division, the mitochondrion elongates, enters the daughter cells just prior to cytokinesis, and undergoes ...

Quality control of the mitochondrion. [PDF]
Mitochondria are essential organelles that execute and coordinate various metabolic processes in the cell. Mitochondrial dysfunction severely affects cell fitness and contributes to disease. Proper organellar function depends on the biogenesis and maintenance of mitochondria and its >1,000 proteins.

Mitochondrion-specific dendritic lipopeptide liposomes for targeted sub-cellular delivery
The mitochondrion is an important sub-cellular organelle responsible for the cellular energetic source and processes. Owing to its unique sensitivity to heat and reactive oxygen species, the mitochondrion is an appropriate target for photothermal and ...

COVID-19, a pandemic disease caused by a viral infection, is associated with a high mortality rate. Most of the signs and symptoms, e.g. cytokine storm, electrolytes imbalances, thromboembolism, etc., are related to mitochondrial dysfunction.

Cell Biology of the Mitochondrion [PDF]
AbstractMitochondria are best known for harboring pathways involved in ATP synthesis through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Major advances in understanding these roles were made with Caenorhabditiselegans mutants affecting key components of the metabolic pathways.

Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Mitochondria contain distinctive ribosomes, transfer RNAs, amino acyl t-RNA synthetases, and elongation and termination factors ...

Protein translocation pathways of the mitochondrion [PDF]
The biogenesis of mitochondria depends on the coordinated import of precursor proteins from the cytosol coupled with the export of mitochondrially coded proteins from the matrix to the inner membrane. The mitochondria contain an elaborate network of protein translocases in the outer and inner membrane along with a battery of chaperones and processing ...

The return of the mitochondrion [PDF]
For a fresh-faced (well, apart from the beard) PhD graduate in 1989, mitochondrial bioenergetics might have seemed a strange choice of research path. Flushed with the general acceptance of the chemiosmotic theory, many felt that the area had passed its heyday. With the publication of its ‘bible’ (Bioenergetics, the definitive textbook by David Nicholls)

On the InterAktion between Hexokinase and the Mitochondrion [PDF]
The protein kinase Akt is now well recognized as a potent inhibitor of apoptosis. Work published by Majewski et al. in the December 3rd issue of Molecular Cell indicates that a major pathway by which Akt suppresses cell death is by stimulating the translocation of hexokinase to the mitochondrion.
