Mitochondrial bioenergetics and structural network organization.
Mitochondria form a dynamic network, and it remains unclear how the alternate configurations interact with bioenergetics properties. The metabolic signals that link mitochondrial structure to its functional states have not been fully characterized. In this report, we analyze the bidirectional relationships between mitochondrial morphology and function in living human cells. First, we determined...
متن کاملMitochondrial Bioenergetics and ROS Production
immersed in a medium containing 21% oxygen, a highly reactive molecule. Fortunately for us, this impediment to life has been turned back on itself and has actually been harnessed by the cell to generate the stored chemical energy necessary to meet the major demands of cell physiology. Mitochondria are the organelles providing this protection, compartmentalizing and controlling the oxidation of ...
متن کاملBAX supports the mitochondrial network, promoting bioenergetics in nonapoptotic cells.
The dual functionality of the tumor suppressor BAX is implied by the nonapoptotic functions of other members of the BCL-2 family. To explore this, mitochondrial metabolism was examined in BAX-deficient HCT-116 cells as well as primary hepatocytes from BAX-deficient mice. Although mitochondrial density and mitochondrial DNA content were the same in BAX-containing and BAX-deficient cells, MitoTra...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA maintenance and bioenergetics.
Oxidative phosphorylation requires assembly of the protein products of both mitochondrial and of nuclear genomes into functional respiratory complexes. Cellular respiration can be compromised when mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences are corrupted. Oxidative damage resulting from reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during respiration is probably a major source of mitochondrial genomic instabi...
متن کاملMorphological control of mitochondrial bioenergetics.
The major function of mitochondria is production and supply of cellular energy. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles undergoing frequent shape changes via fission and fusion. Many studies have elucidated the molecular components mediating fission and fusion and their regulatory mechanisms, and mitochondrial shape change is now recognized as an essential cellular process that is closely as...
