The TOB (Topogenesis of Outer membrane β-barrel proteins) complex is composed of the core proteins Tob55 (Sam50), Tob37 (Sam37) and Tob38 (Sam35). The complex facilitates the insertion of all β-barrel and some α-helically anchored integral proteins into the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM)....

Biogenesis of Porin of the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane Involves an Import Pathway via Receptors and the General Import Pore of the TOM Complex

Nargang, F. E., Pfanner, N., Neupert, W., Blachly-Dyson, E., Forte, M., Krimmer, T., Ryan, M. T., Kassenbrock, K., Rapaport, D., Douglas, M. G., Meisinger, C.
Abstract: Porin, also termed the voltage-dependent anion channel, is the most abundant protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane. The process of import and assembly of the protein is known to be dependent on the surface receptor Tom20, but the requirement for other mitochondrial proteins...

When chemical inhibitors or mutations impair the standard mitochondrial electron transport chain (sETC) in Neurospora crassa, alternative oxidase (AOX) is induced. AOX transfers electrons directly from coenzyme Q to oxygen, thus bypassing the later steps of the sETC. In N. crassa AOX is encoded...

Not Simply the Induction of Alternative Oxidase: The AOD2 and AOD5 Transcription Factors Play Roles in Regulation of Metabolism and Energy Production in Neurospora crassa

Mitochondria are important organelles in most eukaryotic organisms as they supply the majority of the ATP needed for cellular functions. Although mitochondria contain their own DNA, the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nucleus. Thus, when mitochondria experience stress...

Reconstituted TOM core complex and Tim9/Tim10 complex of mitochondria are sufficient for translocation of the ADP/ATP carrier across membranes

Habib, S.J., Panneels, V., Vasiljev, A., Prokisch, H., Nussberger, S., Neupert, W., Sinning, I., Nargang, F.E., Ahting, U., Rapaport, D., Go, N.E., Kozany, C.
Precursor proteins of the solute carrier family and of channel forming Tim components are imported into mitochondria in two main steps. First, they are translocated through the TOM complex in the outer membrane, a process assisted by the Tim9/Tim10 complex. They are passed on to the TIM22...

The Oxa2 protein of Neurospora crassa plays a critical role in the biogenesis of cytochrome oxidase and defines a ubiquitous subbranch of the Oxa1/YidC/Alb3 protein family

Herrmann, J.M., Nargang, F.E., Neupert, W., Funes, S.
Proteins of the Oxa1/YidC/Alb3 family mediate the insertion of proteins into membranes of mitochondria, bacteria, and chloroplasts. Here we report the identification of a second gene of the Oxa1/YidC/Alb3 family in the genome of Neurospora crassa, which we have named oxa2. Its gene product, Oxa2,...

The role of YVH1, a dual specificity phosphatase, in the production of alternative oxidase in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa
DownloadFall 2013
Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a single protein enzyme that carries electrons from ubiquinol to molecular oxygen. AOX is induced in many organisms, including Neurospora crassa, when the standard electron transport chain is blocked through various inhibitors or mutations. A knockout (KO) for a dual...
