1. Organization and regulation of mitochondrial gene expression
Abstract : Mitochondria possess their own genome, remnant of the ancestral eubacterial endosymbiont DNA. This mitochondrial genome encodes mostly few key subunits of the respiratory chain. In order to synthesize these few proteins, mitochondria contain a complete gene expression machinery. READ MORE

2. Organization of mitochondrial gene expression in yeast : Specific features of organellar protein synthesis
Abstract : Mitochondria contain their own genetic system, encoding key subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. These subunits are expressed by an organelle-specific gene expression machinery. READ MORE

3. The mitoribosome as a hub for integrating mitochondrial gene expression : Regulation of translation and early assembly of cytochrome b
Abstract : The mitochondrial proteome is a mosaic of proteins from two different genetic systems. The majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome and are synthesized in the cytosol before imported to mitochondria. READ MORE

4. Novel methods to study mitochondrial gene expression and homeostasis
Abstract : Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles that harbor one of the main cellular processes – energy conversion. Nutrients available in the environment are taken up by cells and transformed into metabolites that can be used for synthesis of ATP, the energy currency of the cell. READ MORE

5. Mitochondrial translation and its impact on protein homeostasis and aging
Abstract : Besides their famous role as powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria are also involved in many signaling processes and metabolism. Therefore, it is unsurprising that mitochondria are no isolated organelles but are in constant crosstalk with other parts of the cell. READ MORE
