Findings reveal for the first time a non‐proteolytic function of the m‐AAA protease during mitochondrial biogenesis and rationalise the requirement of a preceding step for intramembrane cleavage by rhomboid.
Abstract
Maturation of cytochrome c peroxidase (Ccp1) in mitochondria occurs by the subsequent action of two conserved proteases in the inner membrane: the m-AAA protease, an ATP-dependent protease degrading misfolded proteins and mediating protein processing, and the rhomboid protease Pcp1, an intramembrane cleaving peptidase. Neither the determinants preventing complete proteolysis of certain substrates by the m-AAA protease, nor the obligatory requirement of the m-AAA protease for rhomboid cleavage is currently understood. Here, we describe an intimate and unexpected functional interplay of both proteases. The m-AAA protease mediates the ATP-dependent membrane dislocation of Ccp1 independent of its proteolytic activity. It thereby ensures the correct positioning of Ccp1 within the membrane bilayer allowing intramembrane cleavage by rhomboid. Decreasing the hydrophobicity of the Ccp1 transmembrane segment facilitates its dislocation from the membrane and renders rhomboid cleavage m-AAA protease-independent. These findings reveal for the first time a non-proteolytic function of the m-AAA protease during mitochondrial biogenesis and rationalise the requirement of a preceding step for intramembrane cleavage by rhomboid.

FtsH protease-mediated regulation of various cellular functions.

TL;DR: FtsH is an ATP-dependent protease of ∼71 kDa anchored to the inner membrane that is responsible for the degradation of both membrane and cytoplasmic substrate proteins and its role in proteolytic regulation is achieved by one of two approaches.

The Disulfide Relay of the Intermembrane Space of Mitochondria: An Oxygen-Sensing System?

TL;DR: Erv1, a conserved flavine adenine dinucleotide‐binding sulfhydryl oxidase, may function as a molecular switch that adapts mitochondrial activities to the oxygen levels in the cell, and significantly increases the efficiency of the oxidase activity, and prevents the formation of potentially deleterious hydrogen peroxide.

Regulation of mitochondrial plasticity by the i-AAA protease YME1L.

TL;DR: YME1L, an ATP-dependent proteolytic complex in the mitochondrial inner membrane, coordinates mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics with the metabolic output of mitochondria and represents a key regulatory protease determining mitochondrial plasticity and metabolic reprogramming.

Transcriptional activation of LON Gene by a new form of mitochondrial stress: A role for the nuclear respiratory factor 2 in StAR overload response (SOR)

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the human nuclear respiratory factor 2 (NRF-2), also known as GA binding protein (GABP), is responsible for 88% of the proximal promoter activity, including the observed increase of transcription in the presence of StAR, which is named StAR overload response (SOR).

Proteolysis: from the lysosome to ubiquitin and the proteasome.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ubiquitin-proteasome system resolved the enigma of how cellular proteins are degraded in the lysosome and showed that non-lysosomal pathways have an important role in intracellular proteolysis, although their identity and mechanisms of action remained obscure.

Sculpting the Proteome with AAA+ Proteases and Disassembly Machines

TL;DR: Exciting progress has been made in understanding how AAA(+) machines recognize specific proteins as targets and then carry out ATP-dependent dismantling of the tertiary and/or quaternary structure of these molecules during the processes of protein degradation and the disassembly of macromolecular complexes.
