Processing peptidase of Neurospora mitochondria
Subunit 9 (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binding protein, ‘proteolipid’) of the mitochondrial F lFo-ATPase is a nuclearly coded protein in Neurospora crassa. It is synthesized on free cytoplasmic ribosomes as a larger precursor with an NH2-terminal peptide extension. The peptide extension is cleaved off after transport of the protein into the mitochondria. A processing activity referred to as proces...
متن کاملStructure-function relationships in class CA1 cysteine peptidase propeptides.
Regulation of proteolytic enzyme activity is an essential requirement for cells and tissues because proteolysis at a wrong time and location may be lethal. Proteases are synthesized as inactive or less active precursor molecules in order to prevent such inappropriate proteolysis. They are activated by limited intra- or intermolecular proteolysis cleaving off an inhibitory peptide. These regulat...
متن کاملActivation of a matrix processing peptidase from the crystalline cytochrome bc1 complex of bovine heart mitochondria.
No mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP) activity is detected in crystalline bovine heart mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 complex, which possesses full electron transfer activity. However, when the complex is treated with increasing concentrations of Triton X-100 at 37 degreesC, the electron transfer activity decreases, whereas peptidase activity increases. Maximum MPP activity is obtained when...
متن کاملCytochrome-c reductase/processing peptidase complex from potato mitochondria.
In potato, cytochrome c reductase, a protein complex of the respiratory chain, exhibits processing activity toward mitochondrial precursor proteins. One of the two cooperating components of the processing peptidase was shown to be identical with subunit III of the complex. Here we report that two additional proteins of the complex (subunit I and II) share 40-50% sequence identity with the proce...
متن کاملMitochondria: isolation, structure and function.
Mitochondria are complex organelles constantly undergoing processes of fusion and fission, processes that not only modulate their morphology, but also their function. Yet the assessment of mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle often involves mechanical isolation of the mitochondria, a process which disrupts their normally heterogeneous branching structure and yields relatively homogeneous s...
