Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial Proteases: Multifaceted Regulators of Mitochondrial Plasticity

TL;DR: Understanding the dual function of mitoproteases as regulatory and quality control enzymes will help unravel the role of mitochondrial plasticity in aging and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Good and the Bad of Mitochondrial Breakups.

TL;DR: Recent advances in the field of mitochondrial dynamics are discussed, demonstrating cell- and tissue-specific effects of mitochondrial fragmentation on cellular metabolism, cell survival, and mitochondrial quality control.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Intersubunit Signaling Network Coordinates ATP Hydrolysis by m-AAA Proteases

TL;DR: Coordinated ATP hydrolysis within m-AAA protease ring complexes, conserved AAA+ machines in the inner membrane of mitochondria, provides insight into how AAA+ proteins convert energy derived from ATP Hydrolysis into mechanical work.
Journal ArticleDOI

The molecular chaperone Hsp78 confers compartment-specific thermotolerance to mitochondria.

TL;DR: Proteins of the Clp/Hsp100-family located in the cytosol and within mitochondria confer compartment-specific protection against heat damage to the cell, suggesting a conserved mode of action of the two proteins.
