tailieunhanh - Báo cáo khoa học: The molecular identity of the mitochondrial Ca2+ sequestration system

The role of non-B DNA in the function and stability of genomes has become generally appreciated in recent years. It is now evident that DNA also encodes for spatial structures that are involved in gene regulation, replication and recombination. | MINIREVIEW The molecular identity of the mitochondrial Ca2 sequestration system Anatoly A.

Mitochondria from all studied tissues can accumulate and store Ca2 but the maximum Ca2 storage capacity varies widely and exhibits striking tissue specificity. There is currently no explanation for this fact. Precipitation of Ca2 and phosphate in the mitochondrial matrix has been suggested to be the major form of storage of accumulated Ca2 in mitochondria. How this precipitate is formed is not known. The molecular identity of almost all proteins involved in Ca2 transport storage and formation of the permeability transition pore is also unknown. This review summarizes studies aimed at identifying these proteins and describes the properties of a known mitochondrial protein that may be involved in Ca2 transport and the structure of the permeability transition pore. doi The standard model The ability to accumulate retain and release Ca2 is a fundamental ubiquitous function of animal mitochondria. Extensive research during the last 50 years has resulted in a consensus model of mitochondrial Ca2 handling that adequately accommodates most if not all experimental data referred to here as the standard model of mitochondrial Ca2 handling . This model is shown in Fig. 1 in a greatly simplified form and
