Protein Degradation within Mitochondria: Versatile Activities of AAA Proteases and Other Peptidases

Koppen, Mirko, Langer, Thomas·2007·Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Abstract

Cell survival depends on essential processes in mitochondria. Various proteases within these organelles regulate mitochondrial biogenesis and ensure the complete degradation of excess or damaged proteins. Many of these proteases are highly conserved and ubiquitous in eukaryotic cells. They can be assigned to three functional classes: processing peptidases, which cleave off mitochondrial targeting sequences of nuclearly encoded proteins and process mitochondrial proteins with regulatory functions; ATP-dependent proteases, which either act as processing peptidases with regulatory functions or as quality-control enzymes degrading non-native polypeptides to peptides; and oligopeptidases, which degrade these peptides and mitochondrial targeting sequences to amino acids. Disturbances of protein degradation within mitochondria cause severe phenotypes in various organisms and can lead to the induction of apoptotic programmes and cell-specific neurodegeneration in mammals. After an overview of the proteolytic system of mitochondria, we will focus on versatile functions of ATP-dependent AAA proteases in the inner membrane. These conserved proteolytic machines conduct protein quality surveillance of mitochondrial inner membrane proteins, mediate vectorial protein dislocation from membranes, and, acting as processing enzymes, control ribosome assembly, mitochondrial protein synthesis, and mitochondrial fusion. Implications of these functions for cell-specific axonal degeneration in hereditary spastic paraplegia will be discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
