Topic 9 Flashcards
porins
proteins that form transmembrane channels permeable to molecules below 10kDA
cardiolipin
phospholipid with four fatty acyl tails synthesized within mitochondria that decrease permeability of mitochondria inner membrane to protons
cristae
folds of inner membrane; number varies with energy demands
95% of human mitochondrial proteins are encoded by…
nuclear DNA
T/F: Each mitochondria can contain diff. number of DNA molecules
T
mitochondrial fission requires
- dna replication
- rna synthesis
- membrane generation via phospholipid transfer from ER
- protein synthesis within mitochondria and protein importation from cytoplasm
Most nuclear encoded mitochondrial proteins are synthesized
on free ribosomes in cytoplasm
import of mitochondrial matrix and inner membrane proteins
with amino terminal presequence
Tom, Tim, Hsp70, MPP
target proteins to outer compartments
internal mitochondrial targeting sequence and internal compartment targeting sequences for intermembrane, outer, and some inner proteins
Tom complex
translocase of outer membrane
Tim complex
translocase of inner membrane
Hsp70
chaperones that keep proteins unfolded until reaching final destination
MPP
matrix processing peptidase that cleaves targeting sequence following transport
Tim9, Tim10
inter membrane space chaperones; carry protein to Tim 22 channel complex
Oxa-translocase
within inner membrane for proteins synthesized within matrix
Sorting of proteins containing internal targeting sequences to inner membrane
Tim9,Tim10, Oxa-translocase, inner membrane protein eroded by nuclear and mitochondrial DNA
Sorting of proteins containing internal targeting sequences to inter membrane space and outer membrane
Mim1, SAM, outer membrane with alpha-helix transmembrane and beta sheet/barrel transmembrane domains, inter membrane interacting with chaperones
Mim 1
inserts proteins with a single alpha helical transmembrane domain inserted into outer membrane
SAM
Sorting and Assembly Machinery for moving proteins from intermembrane to outer
cytoplasmic phospholipid transfer proteins
transfer phospholipids synthesized in ER to mitochondria
catabolism
breakdown of large, complex molecules into smaller, simpler molecules with release of chemical energy
ATP
captures energy released by catabolism to form phosphoanhydride bonds
