- Two‐thirds of yeast PPR proteins have evolved mitochondrial-nuclear incompatibility among the Saccharomyces sensu stricto species. (embopress.org)

Dynamin-related1
- Nuclear gene OPA1, encoding a mitochondrial dynamin-related protein, is mutated in dominant optic atrophy. (nih.gov)
TRNAs2
- Northern blot analysis of nuclear tRNAs from wild-type and trz1-1 mutant strains. (nih.gov)
- Moreover, we found that the frequency of 1-methyladenosine (m1A) in two mitochondrial tRNAs increased in ALKBH1-knockout cells, indicating that ALKBH1 also has demethylation activity toward m1A in mt-tRNAs. (bireme.br)
Cause mitochondrial1
- 2,4 Studies from our group have shown that increased tissue expression of angiotensin II via stimulation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT 1 R) can cause mitochondrial morphological and functional abnormalities in skeletal muscle, and liver ( Figure 1 ) as well as cardiovascular tissue ( Figure 2 ).

Retrograde regulation1

Specific mitochondrial1
- We examined in insulin resistant muscle if, in contrast to long-standing dogma, mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is increased, and whether this is attributed to an increased nuclear content of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator 1α (PGC1α) and the adaptations of specific mitochondrial sub-populations.

Outer membrane1
- This permeability in the outer membrane allows for water, ions, and some proteins to flow freely into the inter membrane space. (wikibooks.org)
Endoplasmic Reticulum2
- We compare UPR mt with the extensively characterized cytosolic heat shock response (HSR) and the unfolded protein response in endoplasmic reticulum (UPR ER ), and discuss the current knowledge about UPR mt signaling pathways as well as their potential involvement in physiology. (biologists.org)
- The SND proteins constitute an alternative targeting route to the endoplasmic reticulum. (mpg.de)
Translation11
- Nuclear-encoded regulatory proteins control mitochondrial translation. (news-medical.net)
- Knowledge of the bacterial and eukaryotic translation mechanisms supersedes what is understood about mitochondrial translation. (news-medical.net)
- Overall, the eukaryotic mitochondrial translation system resembles the system seen in prokaryotes, rather than the expected system seen in the cytoplasm of eukaryotes. (news-medical.net)
- The initiation translation factors utilized in conventional nuclear translation as seen in bacteria include IF1, IF2, and IF3. (news-medical.net)
- The mitochondrial translation machinery decodes 13 polypeptides essential for the oxidative phosphorylation process. (scirp.org)
- In the mitochondrial translation system AUA codes for methionine, UGA codes for tryptophan, AGA and AGG are used as stop codons. (scirp.org)
- The new probe from Stasevich's team, therefore, provides a low-cost solution for protein and RNA translation imaging. (genengnews.com)
- It is hoped that these analyses will provide a unique insight into the role of mitochondrial protein translation I the progression of ALD. (nih.gov)
- Plasticity of mitochondrial translation. (mpg.de)
- NSUN3 and ABH1 modify the wobble position of mt-tRNAMet to expand codon recognition in mitochondrial translation. (mpg.de)
