31116694115 major functions of mitochondrionATP production Regulate metabolism Cell death Calcium storage Biosynth of heme Cell signaling Urea cycle0
3127336551What is a mitochondrial function?ATP synth, heat, calcium storage, apoptosis1
3111711007Major organs affected by mitochon diseaseEye Muscle GI Brain Heart2
3111731310Mitochondrial proteome is different from organ to organInterpretation of mito events should include the proteome Mito mutations are dependent on the tissue.3
3111736888Mito anatomy4
3111740725Michondrial cross talk between nucleusThis communication is important for correct synthesis5
3111744785Mitochondrial genome37 genes 13 proteins No introns dsDNA tRNA rRNA6
3127395756What is the worst kinda mtDNA mutation?tRNA or rRNA7
3127385757Complexes coded by mtDNA1,3,4,5 (ATP synthase)8
3111787379MtDNA mutation rate15x higher than genomic There is cell threshold where more than 60% of bad mitos cause mutation effect9
3127403596Copies of DNA per mitoEach mito has 2-10 copies of mtDNA10
3127406319When do mitos do replicationThey do fission in mitosis or meiosis11
3111807057MtDNA homoplasmySame mutation/non mutation mitos in cell12
3111851112IVFTake out mothers nucleus and put it in non mutated donor cell.13
3111811742MtDNA heteroplasmyMix of mutated and non-mutated MtDNA in cell. These non-mutated mitos can keep you alive.14
3111863650What is the role of the nuclear genome in mitochondriaCooperates with mtDNA to make multi subunit complexes of ETC Protein transport machinery Encodes TFs in mito15
3121447607Matrix enzymes of mitoThese are all nuclear mRNA made Ox phosph enzymes are mix of nuclear and mito DNA16
3111892547How do get nuclear proteins into matrix?90% of mito proteins have to be imported Targeting or presequence for this to occur. 20-70 aas.17
3111966508Hsp70Unfolding factor in mito. Needs ATP18
3111953678TOMs vs TIMsImport receptors on OMM19
3111957291SAMSorting of assembly machinery20
3112021302Possible sources of mtDNA mutationsNuclear DNA - mendelian Cytoplasmic mtDNA - maternal X linked21
3112074019Why are there mt mutations?MtDNA attaches to IMM. ROS. MtDNA lacks protective histones MtDNA has limited repair systems22
3112091118Missense mutationAa substitution Leber's hereditary optic neuronpathy23
3127486514Biogenesis mutationstRNA point mutations Affects protein synth24
3112095460tRNA mutations from mtDNAMERRF MELAS More deleterious than the 13 polypeptides in comlpex25
3112102201Insertion deletion mutations of mtDNANo family history KSS PEO26
3127490922Kearns Sayre syndromIndel mt DNA mutation27
3127491946Progressive external opthalmoplegiaIndel mt DNA mutation28
3112107845Fusion and fission in mtDNAThis is for quality control of mt proteins. Remove damaged mitos by combining them with good ones29
3112111424PGC-1 alphaKey regulator of mt protein synth Co transcriptional activator. This is nuclear gene. Turned on my AMP kinase Then it turns on mt genes Turns on when you are cold via PKA30
3127533452PGC-1 alpha neg feedbackEnergy charge will turn off itself31
3112123146AMP kinaseHelps to integrate energy demands with cellular metabolism Stops ATP consumption Starts ATP generation Memorize this slide32
3127547189What does AMP do?Stimulates glycogenolysis and glycolysis Also activates AMP kinase when makes more ATP33
3121473526What activates PGC-1 alpha?AMP kinase which was activated by AMP34
3112137813AMP kinase inhibtionATP35
3112144169What activates mt biogenesis?Cell is making ATP in low E state AMPK is activated. Activates PGC-1alpha36
3127569683Type 2 diabetes drug (Mephormin)Turns on AMPK More mtDNA genes37
3112152067MitophagyThis removes damaged mitos Bad mitophagy means you have brain disease Bad fusion and fission means you have brain issue too38
3112153818Apoptosis and mtThis is important for fighting viruses Cyt C release from Bax and Bak39
3127585640What is committed step of apoptosis?Cyt C release is committed step of apoptosis40
3112161572Cyt CRelease is controlled by bcl-2 (Bax or Bak) or (Bcls) Thought to have been a humble protein only involved in ETC41
3112165514Pro apoptotic Bcl-2Bax and Bak42
3112189198Pro survival Bcl-2Bcl-2, Bcl-W, Bcl-xl, Mcl1, A143
3127611589Disease of agingMitos are involved. Reactive oxidative species increase with time. This causes problems. mtDNA mutations build up44
