Interspecific variations in proteins synthesized by mammalian mitochondria. 1978

R W Yatscoff, and L Aujume, and K B Freeman, and S Goldstein

The products of mitochondrial protein synthesis in established cell lines of various mammalian species were labelled with [35S]methionine and their number and apparent molecular weights determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Proteins synthesized by isolated rat liver mitochondria were labelled with [3H]valine and similarly characterized. Each species had a distinctive pattern of from 10 to 13 mitochondrially synthesized proteins with apparent molecular weights between 10,000 and 50,000. No differences were detected in the number or electrophoretic mobility of the mitochondrially synthesized proteins of SV-40-transformed and nontransformed WI-38 cells.

D008715 Methionine A sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions. L-Methionine,Liquimeth,Methionine, L-Isomer,Pedameth,L-Isomer Methionine,Methionine, L Isomer
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.
