Mitochondria: Organization of Respiratory Chain Complexes Becomes Cristae-lized
For over 100 years mitochondria have been known for their distinctive morphology featuring elaborately folded cristae, and their role as 'the powerhouse of the cell'. New research shows that these two characteristics are more dependent on each other than previously thought.
متن کاملSupramolecular organization of the respiratory chain in Neurospora crassa mitochondria.
The existence of specific respiratory supercomplexes in mitochondria of most organisms has gained much momentum. However, its functional significance is still poorly understood. The availability of many deletion mutants in complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) of Neurospora crassa, distinctly affected in the assembly process, offers unique opportunities to analyze the biogenesis of respira...
متن کاملMitochondrial Cristae Shape Determines Respiratory Chain Supercomplexes Assembly and Respiratory Efficiency
Respiratory chain complexes assemble into functional quaternary structures called supercomplexes (RCS) within the folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane, or cristae. Here, we investigate the relationship between respiratory function and mitochondrial ultrastructure and provide evidence that cristae shape determines the assembly and stability of RCS and hence mitochondrial respiratory efficie...
متن کاملThe Respiratory Chain of Plant Mitochondria: VI. Flavoprotein Components of the Respiratory Chain of Mung Bean Mitochondria.
Redox changes of the flavoproteins of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) mitochondria were measured by differential absorbance at 468 to 493 nanometers and by fluorescence emission above 500 nanometers excited at 436 nanometers. Four flavoproteins are distinguishable by the ratio of their fluorescence to absorbance changes, and by their requirement, or lack of it, for energy-linked reverse electron t...
متن کاملRespiratory Chain Complexes in Dynamic Mitochondria Display a Patchy Distribution in Life Cells
BACKGROUND Mitochondria, the main suppliers of cellular energy, are dynamic organelles that fuse and divide frequently. Constraining these processes impairs mitochondrial is closely linked to certain neurodegenerative diseases. It is proposed that functional mitochondrial dynamics allows the exchange of compounds thereby providing a rescue mechanism. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The questio...
