  2. 16. Studies of nuclear encoded mitochondrial proteins in metabolism

    Author : Qian Zhao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mitochondrial function is vital for human health. Inherited genetic disease can cause mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deficiency, disorders with generally poor prognosis. The majority of the genesinvolved in keeping a normal mitochondrial function are nuclear encoded. READ MORE

  4. 17. Paramagnetic states of diiron carboxylate proteins

    Author : Nina Voevodskaya; Astrid Gräslund; Peter Brzezinski; Howard Dalton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electron paramagnetic resonance; diiron carboxilate proteins; ribonucleotide reductase; alternative oxidase; Biophysics; Biofysik;

    Abstract : Diiron carboxylate proteins constitute an important class of metall-containing enzymes. These proteins perform a multitude of reactions in biological systems that normally involve activation of molecular oxygen at the diiron site. READ MORE

  5. 18. The consequences of DNA lesions for mitochondrial DNA maintenance

    Author : Josefin M. E. Forslund; Sjoerd Wanrooij; Nasim Sabouri; Erik Johansson; Claes Gustafsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mitochondria; mitochondrial DNA; DNA replication; DNA lesions; DNA polymerase γ; ribonucleotide incorporation; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Eukaryotic cells have their own energy-producing organelles called mitochondria. The energy is stored in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule and is produced via the oxidative phosphorylation process inside the mitochondria. Thirteen of the essential proteins required for this process are encoded on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). READ MORE

  6. 19. Skeletal muscle fiber types in man : With special reference to anabolic signaling and mitochondrial bioenergetics

    Author : Sebastian Edman; William Apro; Filip J Larsen; Abram Katz; Leigh Breen; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mTORC1; THRIFTY; fiber type identification; muscle growth; aging; sarcopenia; mitochondrial function; oxphos; metabolism; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Abstract : Human skeletal muscle consists of a mixture of slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II) fibers. The type I fibers are endurance-oriented, with a metabolic system and infrastructure that supports aerobic metabolism. READ MORE

  7. 20. The mitoribosome as a hub for integrating mitochondrial gene expression : Regulation of translation and early assembly of cytochrome b

    Author : Andreas Carlström; Martin Ott; Chris Meisinger; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mitochondria; gene expression; mitochondrial ribosome; translation regulation; feedback loop; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    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
