Journal ArticleDOI

Ugo1 and Mdm30 act sequentially during Fzo1-mediated mitochondrial outer membrane fusion

TL;DR: It is suggested that protein clearance confers a non-cycling mechanism to mitofusins, which is distinct from other cellular membrane fusion events.
Journal ArticleDOI

m-AAA proteases, mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and neurodegeneration

TL;DR: The relationship between the m-AAA protease and mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and its relevance for neurodegeneration is discussed and a novel mouse model lacking MCU specifically in Purkinje cells is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of Prohibitin Induces Mitochondrial Damages Altering β-Cell Function and Survival and Is Responsible for Gradual Diabetes Development

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that Phb2 is essential for metabolic activation of mitochondria and, as a consequence, for function and survival of β-cells and the expression of prohibitins in human and rodent islets is documented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulated protein degradation in mitochondria.

TL;DR: The mitochondrial inner membrane harbors two ATP-dependent metallopeptidases, them- and thei-AAA protease, which expose their catalytic sites to opposite membrane surfaces and cooperate in the degradation of inner membrane proteins.
