• The membrane in the outside is called outer mitochondrial membrane. (notesbard.com)
  • And the outer mitochondrial membrane is fairly smooth. (notesbard.com)
  • The membrane in the inner side or which is facing the cytoplasm is called the inner mitochondrial membrane. (notesbard.com)
  • Cardiolipin is a phospholipid molecule present in inner mitochondrial membrane. (notesbard.com)
  • The space between inner and outer mitochondrial membranes is called intermembrane space. (notesbard.com)
  • The porin proteins allow free passage for various molecules into intermembrane space. (notesbard.com)
  • [5] The eukaryote Monocercomonoides is known to have completely lost its mitochondria, [6] and the multicellular organism Henneguya salminicola is known to have retained mitochondrion-related organelles in association with a complete loss of their mitochondrial genome. (wikipedia.org)
  • With about 10 000 copies per cell the voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) are the most abundant proteins of the mitochondrial outer membrane and are known to be involved in mitochondrial processes such as ATP-, calcium or ROS-transport. (uni-marburg.de)
  • The mitochondrial matrix contain dsDNA, mitochondrial ribosomes, tRNAs and various proteins. (notesbard.com)
  • Small molecules can pass through Porins, or voltage-dependent anion selective channels or VDAC. (notesbard.com)
  • Using HeLa cells, we show that mammalian porins also function in mitochondrial CL metabolism. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Porins are present in bacterial CELL WALLS, as well as in plant, fungal, mammalian and other vertebrate CELL MEMBRANES and MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANES. (bvsalud.org)
  • Translocator protein 18kDa is a mitochondrial outer membrane protein that was first recognized in mammalian systems as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) and in Rhodobacter sphaeroides as the tryptophan-rich sensory protein (TspO). (researchgate.net)
  • In yeast, the Ups1-Mdm35 and Ups2-Mdm35 complexes transfer phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylserine, respectively, between the mitochondrial outer and inner membranes. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Using the bacterial porin OmpF reconstituted into planar lipid bilayer membranes, we saw how addition of the betalactam antibiotic ampicillin created transient interruptions in small-ion current through the channel. (nih.gov)
  • Here, we identified a mitochondrial porin, Por1, as a protein that interacts with both Mdm31 and Mdm35 in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). (elsevierpure.com)
  • Bacterial porins, mitochondrial channels, gap junctions, some toxins, the nuclear pore complex, and protein-conducting channels of the endoplasmic reticulum are 'mesoscopic' channels designed to transfer solutes larger than water and small ions. (nih.gov)
  • The translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) was previously known as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) in eukaryotes, where it is mainly localized to the mitochondrial outer membrane. (researchgate.net)
  • Mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channels (mt-VDACs) translocate a variety of metabolites, including ATP and ADP, across the mitochondrial outer membrane, and a plasmalemmal splice variant (pl-VDAC-1) has been proposed to mediate ATP translocation across the plasma membrane.
