The outer membrane of mitochondria and chloroplasts has pores that allow small molecules to pass easily. The inner membrane is loaded with the proteins that make up the electron transport chain ...

An enzyme that helps clear damaged mitochondria can act as a molecular switch and potentially prevent neurons from dying.

Mitochondrial fusion is the physical merging of the outer and then the inner mitochondrial membranes of two originally distinct mitochondria. Mitochondrial division is the breaking apart of one ...

Until recently, the outer mitochondria membrane (OMM) was construed as a sieve to a large extent, but recent evidence supports a regulated conduit as the first barrier between the cytosol and ...

mitochondria start to prepare for their division by recruiting the pro-fission protein DRP1 at the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) though interactions with its receptors (MFF, FIS1, MID49, and ...

Mitochondria are critical for cellular homeostasis, regulating bioenergetics, redox balance, Ca2+ signaling, and cell death.

although other researchers have shown that DJ-1 might translocate to the outer mitochondrial membrane during oxidative stress. 87–89 The deletion or silencing of DJ-1 sensitises cells to oxidative ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Binding of IgG to the mitochondrial outer membrane was detected using a secondary FITC-conjugated anti-human-IgG antibody, and analyzed by FACS. In some experiments, mitochondria were treated with ...

This study identifies a pathway for oxidation and assembly of mitochondrial inner membrane proteins. Dbi1 is a conserved mitochondrial inner membrane protein that interacts with the unassembled pool ...
