In vivo study in Trypanosoma brucei links mitochondrial transfer RNA import to mitochondrial protein import.
Trypanosoma brucei imports all mitochondrial transfer RNAs (tRNAs) from the cytosol. By using cell lines that allow independent tetracycline-inducible RNA interference and isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside-inducible expression of a tagged tRNA, we show that ablation of Tim17 and mitochondrial heat-shock protein 70, components of the inner-membrane protein translocation machinery, strongly inh...
متن کاملApoptosis in mitochondrial myopathies is linked to mitochondrial proliferation.
Increased susceptibility to apoptosis has been shown in many models of mitochondrial defects but its relevance to human diseases is still discussed. We addressed the presence of apoptosis in muscle from patients with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. Taking advantage of the mosaic pattern of muscle morphological anomalies associated with heteroplasmic mtDNA alterations, we have used an in si...
متن کاملAIP is a mitochondrial import mediator that binds to both import receptor Tom20 and preproteins
Most mitochondrial preproteins are maintained in a loosely folded import-competent conformation by cytosolic chaperones, and are imported into mitochondria by translocator complexes containing a preprotein receptor, termed translocase of the outer membrane of mitochondria (Tom) 20. Using two-hybrid screening, we identified arylhydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP), an FK506-binding pro...
متن کاملMitochondrial protein import.
Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins on cytosolic polysomes and are subsequently imported into mitochondria. Many precursors carry amino-terminal presequences which contain information for their targeting to mitochondria. In several cases, targeting and sorting information is also contained in non-amino-terminal portions of the precursor protein. Nucleoside triphosp...
متن کاملTransglutaminase is linked to neurodegenerative diseases.
Transglutaminase catalyzes a covalent bond between peptide-bound glutamine residues and either lysine-bound peptide residues or mono- or polyamines. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that transglutaminase is involved in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, Huntington disease (HD), and Parkinson disease. In all of the neurodegenerative diseases...
