The mitochondrial permeability transition pore.
This chapter reviews recent advances in the identification of the structural elements of the permeability transition pore. The discovery that cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits the pore proved instrumental. Various approaches indicate that CsA blocks the pore by binding to cyclophilin (CyP)-D. In particular, covalent labelling of CyP-D in situ by a photoactive CsA derivative has shown that pore ligan...
متن کاملPhysiological roles of the permeability transition pore.
Mitochondria are implicated in many important cellular functions covering the whole life cycle from mitochondrial biogenesis to cell death. Mitochondrial homeostasis is tightly regulated, and mitochondrial dysfunction is frequently associated with severe human pathologies (eg, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegeneration). The permeability transition pore (PTP) is an unselective volta...
متن کاملMitochondrial permeability transition pore: an enigmatic gatekeeper
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is a transient structure formed in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) upon oxidative challenge of the organelle. The transition is a Ca 2+ -dependent increase of permeability of IMM leading to loss of transmembrane potential (∆ψm), mitochondrial swelling and, finally, rupture of outer mitochondrial membrane leading to release of factors caus...
متن کاملThe permeability transition pore complex: another view.
Mitochondria play a critical role in initiating both apoptotic and necrotic cell death. A major player in this process is the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), a non-specific pore, permeant to any molecule of < 1.5 kDa, that opens in the inner mitochondrial membrane under conditions of elevated matrix [Ca(2+)], especially when this is accompanied by oxidative stress and deplete...
متن کاملMitochondrial permeability transition pore and postconditioning.
Postconditioning has recently been described as a powerful cardioprotection that prevents lethal reperfusion injury. Growing evidence suggests that mitochondrial permeability transition may be a key event in postconditioning. This proposition arises from the complementary observations that: (1) conditions for the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening are built up during earl...
