The mitochondrial outer membrane contains translocase complexes for the import of precursor proteins. The translocase of the outer membrane complex functions as a general preprotein entry gate, whereas the sorting and assembly machinery complex mediates membrane insertion of β-barrel proteins of the outer membrane. Several α-helical outer membrane proteins are known to carry multiple transmembrane segments; however, only limited information is available on the biogenesis of these proteins. We report that mitochondria lacking the mitochondrial import protein 1 (Mim1) are impaired in the biogenesis of multispanning outer membrane proteins, whereas overexpression of Mim1 stimulates their import. The Mim1 complex cooperates with the receptor Tom70 in binding of precursor proteins and promotes their insertion and assembly into the outer membrane. We conclude that the Mim1 complex plays a central role in the import of α-helical outer membrane proteins with multiple transmembrane segments. 相似文献

The yeast gene MCR1 encodes two isoforms of the mitochondrial NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase. One form is embedded in the outer membrane whereas the other is located in the intermembrane space (IMS). In the present work we investigated the biogenesis of the outer membrane form. We demonstrate that while the IMS form crosses the outer membrane via the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex, the other form is integrated into the outer membrane by a process that does not require any of the known import components at the outer membrane. Thus, the import pathways of the two forms diverge in a stage before the encounter with the TOM complex and their mechanism of biogenesis represents a unique example how to achieve dual localization within one organelle. 相似文献

Mitochondria are separated from the remainder of the eukaryotic cell by the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). The MOM plays an important role in different transport processes like lipid trafficking and protein import. In yeast, the ER–mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) has a central, but poorly defined role in both activities. To understand the functions of the ERMES, we searched for suppressors of the deficiency of one of its components, Mdm10, and identified a novel mitochondrial protein that we named Mdm10 complementing protein 3 (Mcp3). Mcp3 partially rescues a variety of ERMES‐related phenotypes. We further demonstrate that Mcp3 is an integral protein of the MOM that follows a unique import pathway. It is recognized initially by the import receptor Tom70 and then crosses the MOM via the translocase of the outer membrane. Mcp3 is next relayed to the TIM23 translocase at the inner membrane, gets processed by the inner membrane peptidase (IMP) and finally integrates into the MOM. Hence, Mcp3 follows a novel biogenesis route where a MOM protein is processed by a peptidase of the inner membrane. 相似文献

Mitochondria import the majority of their proteins from the cytosol. At the mitochondrial outer membrane, import is initiated through a series of reactions, which include preprotein recognition, unfolding, insertion and translocation. These processes are facilitated by a multisubunit complex, the TOM complex. Specific roles can now be assigned to several components of this complex. Although the import machinery of the outer membrane can insert and translocate a few proteins on its own, completion of translocation o f most preproteins is dependent upon coupling to both the membrane potential and mt-Hsp70/ATP-driven transport across the inner membrane, mediated by the TIM complex. 相似文献

Functions of outer membrane receptors in mitochondrial protein import 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol as precursor proteins and are imported into mitochondria. The targeting signals for mitochondria are encoded in the presequences or in the mature parts of the precursor proteins, and are decoded by the receptor sites in the translocator complex in the mitochondrial outer membrane. The recently determined NMR structure of the general import receptor Tom20 in a complex with a presequence peptide reveals that, although the amphiphilicity and positive charges of the presequence is essential for the import ability of the presequence, Tom20 recognizes only the amphiphilicity, but not the positive charges. This leads to a new model that different features associated with the mitochondrial targeting sequence of the precursor protein can be recognized by the mitochondrial protein import system in different steps during the import. 相似文献

Import and assembly of mitochondrial proteins depend on a complex interplay of
proteinaceous translocation machineries. The role of lipids in this process has been
studied only marginally and so far no direct role for a specific lipid in
mitochondrial protein biogenesis has been shown. Here we analyzed a potential role of
phosphatidic acid (PA) in biogenesis of mitochondrial proteins in
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In vivo remodeling of the mitochondrial
lipid composition by lithocholic acid treatment or by ablation of the lipid transport
protein Ups1, both leading to an increase of mitochondrial PA levels, specifically
stimulated the biogenesis of the outer membrane protein Ugo1, a component of the
mitochondrial fusion machinery. We reconstituted the import and assembly pathway of
Ugo1 in protein-free liposomes, mimicking the outer membrane phospholipid
composition, and found a direct dependency of Ugo1 biogenesis on PA. Thus, PA
represents the first lipid that is directly involved in the biogenesis pathway of a
mitochondrial membrane protein. 相似文献

The process of mitochondrial protein import has been studied for many years. Despite this attention, many processes associated with mitochondrial biogenesis are poorly understood. Insight into one of these processes, assembly of beta-barrel proteins into the mitochondrial outer membrane, will be discussed. This review focuses on recent data that suggest that assembly of beta-barrel proteins into the outer mitochondrial membrane is dependent on a newly identified protein complex termed the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM complex). Members of the SAM complex have been identified in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, suggesting that the process of beta-barrel assembly into membranes has been conserved through evolution. 相似文献

Proteins targeted to mitochondria are transported into the organelle through a high molecular weight complex called the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM). At the core of this machinery is a multisubunit general import pore (GIP) of 400 kDa. Here we report the assembly of the yeast GIP that involves two successive intermediates of 250 kDa and 100 kDa. The precursor of the channel-lining Tom40 is first targeted to the membrane via the receptor proteins Tom20 and Tom22; it then assembles with Tom5 to form the 250 kDa intermediate exposed to the intermembrane space. The 250 kDa intermediate is followed by the formation of the 100 kDa intermediate that associates with Tom6. Maturation to the 400 kDa complex occurs by association of Tom7 and Tom22. Tom7 functions by promoting both the dissociation of the 400 kDa complex and the transition from the 100 kDa intermediate to the mature complex. These results indicate that the dynamic conversion between the 400 kDa complex and the 100 kDa late intermediate allows integration of new precursor subunits into pre-existing complexes. 相似文献

The assembly of mitochondrial outer membrane proteins is an essential process, mediated by the SAM complex and a set of additional protein modules. We show that one of these, Mim1, is anchored in the outer membrane with its N-terminus exposed to the cytosol and its C-terminus in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Using an in vitro assay to measure the multi-step pathway for assembly of Tom40 into the TOM complex, we find that an “early reaction” mediated by the SAM complex is regulated by the N-terminal domain of Mim1. In addition, a “late reaction” catalysed by the Sam37 subunit of the SAM complex is also influenced by Mim1. Thus, Mim1 participates at multiple stages in the assembly of the TOM complex. 相似文献

Precise determination of the mitochondrial import signal contained in a 70 kDa protein of yeast mitochondrial outer membrane 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A major 70 kDa protein of the yeast mitochondrial outer membrane is coded by a nuclear gene, synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes, and transported to the mitochondrial outer membrane. In order to investigate in detail the information necessary for localizing the 70 kDa protein at the outer membrane, we have examined the intracellular and intramitochondrial location of fusion proteins which consist of various lengths of the amino-terminal region of the 70 kDa protein with an enzymatically active beta-galactosidase. The results indicate that the extreme amino-terminal 12 amino acids of the 70 kDa protein function as a targeting sequence, whereas the subsequent uncharged region (up to residue 29) is necessary for "stop-transfer" and "anchoring" functions. Moreover, we have found that a fusion protein which contained the amino-terminal 19 amino acids of the 70 kDa protein is localized on the outer membrane as well as in the matrix space. Changes in the dual localization of this fusion protein accompanied its overproduction or expression in a respiration-deficient yeast mutant. 相似文献

The conductivity of two photosynthetic protein–pigment complexes, a light harvesting 2 complex and a reaction center, was measured with an atomic force microscope capable of performing electrical measurements. Current–voltage measurements were performed on complexes embedded in their natural environment. Embedding the complexes in lipid bilayers made it possible to discuss the different conduction behaviors of the two complexes in light of their atomic structure. 相似文献

The mitochondrial outer membrane protein Tom40 is the general entry gate for imported proteins in essentially all eukaryotes. Trypanosomatids lack Tom40, however, and use instead a protein termed the archaic translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (ATOM). Here we report the discovery of pATOM36, a novel essential component of the trypanosomal outer membrane protein import system that interacts with ATOM. pATOM36 is not related to known Tom proteins from other organisms and mediates the import of matrix proteins. However, there is a group of precursor proteins whose import is independent of pATOM36. Domain-swapping experiments indicate that the N-terminal presequence-containing domain of the substrate proteins at least in part determines the dependence on pATOM36. Secondary structure profiling suggests that pATOM36 is composed largely of α-helices and its assembly into the outer membrane is independent of the sorting and assembly machinery complex. Taken together, these results show that pATOM36 is a novel component associated with the ATOM complex that promotes the import of a subpopulation of proteins into the mitochondrial matrix. 相似文献

C-tail-anchored (C-TA) proteins are anchored to specific organelle membranes by a single transmembrane segment (TMS) at the C-terminus, extruding the N-terminal functional domains into the cytoplasm in which the TMS and following basic segment function as the membrane-targeting signals. Here, we analyzed the import route of mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) C-TA proteins, Bak, Bcl-XL, and Omp25, using digitonin-permeabilized HeLa cells, which provide specific and efficient import under competitive conditions. These experiments revealed that (i) C-TA proteins were imported to the MOM through a common pathway independent of the components of the preprotein translocase of the outer membrane, (ii) the C-TA protein-targeting signal functioned autonomously in the absence of cytoplasmic factors that specifically recognize the targeting signals and deliver the preproteins to the MOM, (iii) the function of a cytoplasmic chaperone was required if the cytoplasmic domains of the C-TA proteins assumed an import-incompetent conformation, and intriguingly, (iv) the MOM-targeting signal of Bak, in the context of the Bak molecule, required activation by the interaction of its cytoplasmic domain with VDAC2 before MOM targeting. 相似文献

The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex is the general entry site into the organelle for newly synthesized proteins. Despite its central role in the biogenesis of mitochondria, the assembly process of this complex is not completely understood. Mim1 (mitochondrial import protein 1) is a mitochondrial outer membrane protein with an undefined role in the assembly of the TOM complex. The protein is composed of an N-terminal cytosolic domain, a central putative transmembrane segment (TMS) and a C-terminal domain facing the intermembrane space. Here we show that Mim1 is required for the integration of the import receptor Tom20 into the outer membrane. We further investigated what the structural characteristics allowing Mim1 to fulfil its function are. The N- and C-terminal domains of Mim1 are crucial neither for the function of the protein nor for its biogenesis. Thus, the TMS of Mim1 is the minimal functional domain of the protein. We show that Mim1 forms homo-oligomeric structures via its TMS, which contains two helix-dimerization GXXXG motifs. Mim1 with mutated GXXXG motifs did not form oligomeric structures and was inactive. With all these data taken together, we propose that the homo-oligomerization of Mim1 allows it to fulfil its function in promoting the integration of Tom20 into the mitochondrial outer membrane. 相似文献

The mitochondrial outer membrane contains integral α-helical and β-barrel proteins that are imported from the cytosol. The machineries importing β-barrel proteins have been identified, however, different views exist on the import of α-helical proteins. It has been reported that the biogenesis of Om45, the most abundant signal-anchored protein, does not depend on proteinaceous components, but involves direct insertion into the outer membrane. We show that import of Om45 occurs via the translocase of the outer membrane and the presequence translocase of the inner membrane. Assembly of Om45 in the outer membrane involves the MIM machinery. Om45 thus follows a new mitochondrial biogenesis pathway that uses elements of the presequence import pathway to direct a protein to the outer membrane. 相似文献

Membrane fusion plays an important role in controlling the shape, number, and distribution of mitochondria. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the outer membrane protein Fzo1p has been shown to mediate mitochondrial fusion. Using a novel genetic screen, we have isolated new mutants defective in the fusion of their mitochondria. One of these mutants, ugo1, shows several similarities to fzo1 mutants. ugo1 cells contain numerous mitochondrial fragments instead of the few long, tubular organelles seen in wild-type cells. ugo1 mutants lose mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In zygotes formed by mating two ugo1 cells, mitochondria do not fuse and mix their matrix contents. Fragmentation of mitochondria and loss of mtDNA in ugo1 mutants are rescued by disrupting DNM1, a gene required for mitochondrial division. We find that UGO1 encodes a 58-kD protein located in the mitochondrial outer membrane. Ugo1p appears to contain a single transmembrane segment, with its NH(2) terminus facing the cytosol and its COOH terminus in the intermembrane space. Our results suggest that Ugo1p is a new outer membrane component of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. 相似文献

MAS6 encodes an essential inner membrane component of the yeast mitochondrial protein import pathway 总被引:21,自引:4,他引:17
《The Journal of cell biology》1993,122(5):1003-1012
To identify new components that mediate mitochondrial protein import, we analyzed mas6, an import mutant in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. mas6 mutants are temperature sensitive for viability, and accumulate mitochondrial precursor proteins at the restrictive temperature. We show that mas6 does not correspond to any of the presently identified import mutants, and we find that mitochondria isolated from mas6 mutants are defective at an early stage of the mitochondrial protein import pathway. MAS6 encodes a 23-kD protein that contains several potential membrane spanning domains, and yeast strains disrupted for MAS6 are inviable at all temperatures and on all carbon sources. The Mas6 protein is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and cannot be extracted from the membrane by alkali treatment. Antibodies to the Mas6 protein inhibit import into isolated mitochondria, but only when the outer membrane has been disrupted by osmotic shock. Mas6p therefore represents an essential import component located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. 相似文献
