Mitochondria maintain genome and translation machinery to synthesize a small subset of
subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. To build up functional enzymes, these …

Mitochondria contain their own genome which codes for a small number of proteins. Most
mitochondrial translation products are part of the membrane-embedded reaction centers of …

The mitochondrion is arguably the most complex organelle in the budding yeast cell
cytoplasm. It is essential for viability as well as respiratory growth. Its innermost aqueous …

Here we show that c17orf42, hereafter TEFM (transcription elongation factor of
mitochondria), makes a critical contribution to mitochondrial transcription. Inactivation of …

The oxidative phosphorylation system contains four respiratory chain complexes that
connect the transport of electrons to oxygen with the establishment of an electrochemical …

Cytoplasmic male sterility is a maternally inherited trait in higher plants that prevents the
production of functional pollen. Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility in radish (Raphanus …

Mitochondria are essential organelles in cells not only because they supply over 90% of the
cell's energy but also because their dysfunction is associated with disease. Owing to the …

Mitochondrial function relies on the activity of oxidative phosphorylation to synthesise ATP
and generate an electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. These …

Biogenesis of the cytochrome oxidase complex in the mitochondrial inner membrane
depends on the concerted action of a variety of proteins. Recent studies shed light on this …

As a legacy of their endosymbiotic eubacterial origin, mitochondria possess a residual
genome, encoding only a few proteins and dependent on a variety of factors encoded by the …
