Cytoplasmic ribosomes on mitochondria alter the local membrane environment for protein import

|
By Ya-Ting Chang, Benjamin Asher Barad, Hamidreza Rahmani, Brian M. Zid
| BioRxiv
Abstract Most of the mitochondria proteome is nuclear-encoded, synthesized by cytoplasmic ribosomes, and targeted to mitochondria post-translationally. However, a subset of mitochondrial-targeted proteins is imported co-translationally, although the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain unclear. We employ cellular cryo-electron tomography to visualize interactions between cytoplasmic ribosomes and mitochondria in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Nanoscale details of mitochondrial constriction revealed by cryoelectron tomography

| Cell Press Verified
Mitochondria adapt to changing cellular environments, stress stimuli, and metabolic demands through dramatic morphological remodeling of their shape, and thus function. Such mitochondrial dynamics is often dependent on cytoskeletal filament interactions. However, the precise organization of these filamentous assemblies remains speculative.
