Mammalian polynucleotide phosphorylase is an intermembrane space RNase that maintains mitochondrial homeostasis.
We recently identified polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) as a potential binding partner for the TCL1 oncoprotein. Mammalian PNPase exhibits exoribonuclease and poly(A) polymerase activities, and PNPase overexpression inhibits cell growth, induces apoptosis, and stimulates proinflammatory cytokine production. A physiologic connection for these anticancer effects and overexpression is difficu...
متن کاملA new function in translocation for the mitochondrial i-AAA protease Yme1: import of polynucleotide phosphorylase into the intermembrane space.
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is an exoribonuclease and poly(A) polymerase postulated to function in the cytosol and mitochondrial matrix. Prior overexpression studies resulted in PNPase localization to both the cytosol and mitochondria, concurrent with cytosolic RNA degradation and pleiotropic cellular effects, including growth inhibition and apoptosis, that may not reflect a physiolog...
متن کاملMitochondrial import: Crossing the aqueous intermembrane space
Mitochondrial protein import follows a general pathway for preproteins with amino-terminal presequences. The discovery of novel import components has now revealed a distinct pathway for translocation of hydrophobic proteins across the intermembrane space and into the inner membrane.
متن کاملProtein import and oxidative folding in the mitochondrial intermembrane space of intact mammalian cells
Oxidation of cysteine residues to disulfides drives import of many proteins into the intermembrane space of mitochondria. Recent studies in yeast unraveled the basic principles of mitochondrial protein oxidation, but the kinetics under physiological conditions is unknown. We developed assays to follow protein oxidation in living mammalian cells, which reveal that import and oxidative folding of...
متن کاملImport of apocytochrome c into the mitochondrial intermembrane space along a cytochrome c1 sorting pathway.
The question of whether cytochrome c could be functionally sorted to the mitochondrial intermembrane space along a "conservative sorting" pathway was investigated using a fusion protein termed pLc1-c. pLc1-c contains 3-fold targeting information, namely, the complete bipartite presequence of the cytochrome c1 precursor joined to the amino terminus of apocytochrome c. pLc1-c could be selectively...
