Mitochondrial RNA granules: Compartmentalizing mitochondrial gene expression
In mitochondria, DNA replication, gene expression, and RNA degradation machineries coexist within a common nondelimited space, raising the question of how functional compartmentalization of gene expression is achieved. Here, we discuss the recently characterized "mitochondrial RNA granules," mitochondrial subdomains with an emerging role in the regulation of gene expression.
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of trypanosome mitochondrial gene expression.
Mitochondrial respiratory activities in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei are developmentally regulated. The trypanosomes in the mammalian bloodstream derive ATP entirely from glycolysis. The trypanosomes found in the midgut of the insect vector or in culture at 26 degrees C have fully functional mitochondria with cytochrome-mediated respiration. In this paper, we show that the steady s...
متن کاملRibosomal regulation of mitochondrial gene expression.
Several mitochondrial protein complexes contain subunits encoded in the nucleus as well as those encoded in mitochondria. Despite the essential nature of the few proteins encoded in mitochondria, surprisingly little is known about plant mitochondrial gene expression and its regulation (Millar et al., 2008). It has been proposed that posttranslational regulation plays a major role, including at ...
متن کاملMitochondrial transcription termination factor 2 binds to entire mitochondrial DNA and negatively regulates mitochondrial gene expression.
Mitochondrial transcription termination factor 2 (mTERF2) is a mitochondrial matrix protein that binds to the mitochondrial DNA. Previous studies have shown that overexpression of mTERF2 can inhibit cell proliferation, but the mechanism has not been well defined so far. This study aimed to present the binding pattern of mTERF2 to the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in vivo, and investigated the biolo...
متن کاملThe dying of the light: mitochondrial failure in Alzheimer's disease.
Impaired brain energy production, reflected by reduced cortical glucose metabolism seen on 2-FDG PET scans, has emerged as a robust biomarker of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Progression from MCI to Alzheimer's disease (AD) shows further decline of cortical 2-FDG uptake, implying worsening bioenergetics. We characterized respiration, respiratory protein levels, and gene expressions for mitoc...
