Preclinical models of ischemia/reperfusion injury (RI) demonstrate the deleterious effects of permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) opening in the first minutes upon revascularization of the occluded vessel. The ATP synthase c subunit (Csub) influences PTPC activity in cells, thus impacting tissue injury. A conserved glycine-rich domain in Csub is classified as critical because, when mutated, it modifies ATP synthase properties, protein interaction with the mitochondrial calcium (Ca) uniporter complex, and the conductance of the PTPC. Here, we document the role of a naturally occurring mutation in the Csub-encoding ATP5G1 gene at the G87 position found in two ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and how PTPC opening is related to RI in patients affected by the same disease. We report a link between the expression of ATP5G1 and the response to hypoxia/reoxygenation of human cardiomyocytes, which worsen when compared to those expressing the wild-type protein, and a positive correlation between PTPC and RI.

Membraneless organelles assembled by liquid-liquid phase separation interact with diverse membranous organelles to regulate distinct cellular processes. It remains unknown how membraneless organelles are engaged in mitochondrial homeostasis. Here we demonstrate that mitochondria-associated translation organelles (MATOs) mediate local synthesis of proteins required for structural and functional maintenance of mitochondria.

Incubation temperature affects both growth and energy metabolism in birds after hatching. Changes in cellular mechanisms, including mitochondrial function, are a likely but unexplored explanation for these effects. To test whether temperature-dependent changes to mitochondria may link embryonic development to the post-natal phenotype, we incubated Japanese quail eggs at constant low (36.

Background: After spinal cord injury (SCI), pro-inflammatory microglia accumulate and impede axonal regeneration. We explored whether secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (Sparc) restrains microglial inflammation and fosters neurite outgrowth.
Methods: Mouse microglial BV2 cells were polarized to a pro-inflammatory phenotype with lipopolysaccharides (LPSs).

The insect midgut peritrophic membrane (PM) plays important roles in insect-microbe interactions. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and its proteinaceous toxins are widely used for insect control. To understand the role of PM in insects against Bt toxins, this study selected Grapholita molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a worldwide pest infesting fruit trees, as the research subject.

Most complex V subunits are nuclear encoded and so far, were not found in association with recognized Mendelian disorders. ATP5PO is a candidate gene for complex V mitochondrial disease. It encodes the oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP), an essential component of the "stalk" region that links the F1 and F0 domains of the ATP synthase complex.
