Biogenesis of Mitochondrial Proteins

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((volume 748))

Abstract

Depending on the organism, mitochondria consist approximately of 500–1,400 different proteins. By far most of these proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes. Targeting signals direct these proteins into mitochondria and there to their respective subcompartment: the outer membrane, the intermembrane space (IMS), the inner membrane, and the matrix. Membrane-embedded translocation complexes allow the translocation of proteins across and, in the case of membrane proteins, the insertion into mitochondrial membranes. A small number of proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome: Most mitochondrial translation products represent hydrophobic proteins of the inner membrane which—together with many nuclear-encoded proteins—form the respiratory chain complexes. This chapter gives an overview on the mitochondrial protein translocases and the mechanisms by which they drive the transport and assembly of mitochondrial proteins.
