Two mitochondrial matrix proteases act sequentially in the processing of mammalian matrix enzymes.
The imported precursors of the mammalian matrix enzymes malate dehydrogenase [(S)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.37] and ornithine transcarbamylase (carbamoyl-phosphate:L-ornithine carbamoyltransferase, EC 2.1.3.3) are cleaved to their mature subunits in two steps, each catalyzed by matrix-localized processing proteases. The number and properties of these proteases are the subjects of thi...
متن کاملMultifunctional Mitochondrial AAA Proteases
Mitochondria perform numerous functions necessary for the survival of eukaryotic cells. These activities are coordinated by a diverse complement of proteins encoded in both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes that must be properly organized and maintained. Misregulation of mitochondrial proteostasis impairs organellar function and can result in the development of severe human diseases. ATP-dr...

متن کاملMitochondrial DNA ligase function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae CDC9 gene encodes a DNA ligase protein that is targeted to both the nucleus and the mitochondria. While nuclear Cdc9p is known to play an essential role in nuclear DNA replication and repair, its role in mitochondrial DNA dynamics has not been defined. It is also unclear whether additional DNA ligase proteins are present in yeast mitochondria. To address these issue...
متن کاملMatrix Proteases and the Degradome
Proteases are defined as enzymes that have the ability to perform the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Owing to this characteristic, proteases were initially described as nonspecific enzymes of protein catabolism, participating in processes such as tissue destruction or degradation of dietary proteins. More recently, a better understanding of their functions has allowed consideration of proteases a...
