The selfish mitochondrion [PDF]
Mitochondria match ATP supply to fluctuations in cellular energy requirements. Cellular energy requirements are often signaled to mitochondria by increases in the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ ions. These increases in Ca2+ reach the mitochondrial matrix to regulate the proteins, enzymes and transporters required for mitochondrial ATP synthesis ...

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.

Is Myelin a Mitochondrion? [PDF]
It has been hypothesized that myelin acts like a mitochondrion, generating ATP across the membranes of its sheath. By calculating the proton motive force across the myelin membrane based on known values for the pH and membrane potential of the oligodendrocyte, we find that insufficient energy could be harvested from proton flow across the myelin ...

Maturases can specifically bind to intron-containing pre-RNAs, folding them into catalytic structures that facilitate intron splicing in vivo. Plants possess four nuclear-encoded maturase-related factors (nMAT1-nMAT4) and some maturases have been shown ...

A Note on the Consequences of a Hot Mitochondrion: Some Recent Developments and Open Questions
Background: Chrétien and co-workers (PLOS Biology. 2018;16(1):e2003992) recently suggested that the mitochondrion might possibly be hotter than its surrounding (by as much as 10°C).
