  1. Mitochondrial biogenesis

    Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process by which new mitochondria are formed in the cell. Mitochondrial biogenesis is activated by numerous different signals during times of cellular stress or in response to environmental stimuli. The mitochondrion is a key regulator of the metabolic activity of the cell, and is also an important organelle in both production and degradation of free radicals. It is thought that higher mitochodrial copy number or higher mitochondrial mass is protective for the cell. Mitochondria are produced from the transcription and translation of genes both in the nuclear genome and in the Mitochondrial DNA mitochondrial genome . The majority of mitochondrial protein comes from the nuclear genome, while the mitochondrial genome encodes most parts of the electron transport chain along with mitochondrial rRNA and tRNA . A major adaptation to mitochondrial biogenesis results in more mitochondrial tissues which increases metabolic enzymes for glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation and ultimately a greater mitochondrial metabolic capacity. Peter D. Wagner Summer 2011 Lecture cn date October 2011 The master regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis appear to be the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma PGC family of transcriptional coactivators, including PPARGC1A PGC 1 , PPARGC1B PGC 1 , and the PGC related coactivator, PRC. PGC 1 , in particular, is thought to be a master regulator. It is known to co activate nuclear respiratory factor 2 GABPA NRF2 GABPA , and together with NRF 2 coactivates nuclear respiratory factor 1 NRF1 . The NRFs, in turn, activate the mitochondrial transcription factor A TFAM tfam , which is directly responsible for transcribing nuclear encoded mitochondrial proteins. This includes both structural mitochondrial proteins as well as those involved in Human mitochondrial genetics Replication.2C repair.2C transcription.2C and translation mtDNA transcription, translation, and repair .

  1. Mitochondrial decay

    Expert subject Biology date November 2009 No footnotes date May 2011 Mitochondrial decay is one major cause of aging , leading to the subsequent death in humans. The mitochondria are the power producing organelles found in every cell of every organ. Their primary function is to generate Adenosine triphosphate ATP through various energy cycles that involve nutrients and vitamins. ATP is needed for every movement, thought and action we make. Yet very little ATP can be stored in the body. Under normal conditions the mitochondria generate free radicals during the ATP production process and as a result subject themselves to a lot of free radical damage. As we age, the mitochondria become less efficient, fewer in number and larger. Accordingly, ATP production declines, and this may eventually lead to cell death. As organs cannot borrow energy from one another, the efficiency of each organ s mitochondria is essential to its repair processes and functions. If an organ s mitochondria fail, then so does that organ. Enhancement and protection of mitochondrial function and structure are therefore instrumental in preventing and slowing aging. Mitochondrial decay is a progressive disruption of mitochondrial structural integrity and functional ability with advancing age. It can cause impairment in cellular energy production and hence a decline in normal function, particularly in organs with high energy consumption such as the brain and the heart. Mitochondrial decay can also lead to an increase in free radical production and thus render a cell more prone to commit suicide programmed cell death or apoptosis . Some of the age related diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, have been found to involve mitochondrial dysfunction. The maintenance of a youthful mitochondrial functional ability and antioxidant capacity has become a trend in preventive health.

After the protein is taken up by the mitochondria it can be processed into a mature protein and assemble functional ferritin shells. Structure Its structure was determined at 1.70 through the use of X ray diffraction and contains 182 residues. It is 67 helical. The Ramachandran plot shows that the structure of mitochondrial ferritin is mainly alpha helical with a low prevalence of beta sheets.

    The mitochondrial shuttles are systems used to transport reducing agents across the inner mitochondrial membrane . NADH cannot cross the membrane, but it can reduce another molecule that can cross the membrane, so that its electrons can reach the electron transport chain .

  1. X-linked myotubular myopathy

    Infobox Disease Name X linked myotubular myopathy Image Caption DiseasesDB ICD10 ICD9 ICDO OMIM 310400 MedlinePlus eMedicineSubj eMedicineTopic MeshID X linked myotubular myopathy is a myopathy associated with myotubularin 1 . Genetically inherited traits and conditions are often referred to based upon whether they are located on the sex chromosome s the X or Y chromosomes versus whether they are located on autosomal chromosomes chromosomes other than the X or Y . Thus, genetically inherited conditions are categorized as being sex linked e.g., X linked or autosomal . Females have two X chromosomes while males only have a single X chromosome, and a genetic abnormality located on the X chromosome is much more likely to cause clinical disease in a male who lacks the possibility of having the normal gene present on any other chromosome than in a female who is able to compensate for the one abnormal X chromosome . The X linked form of MTM CNM is the most commonly diagnosed type. Almost all cases of X linked MTM occurs in males. Females can be carriers for an X linked genetic abnormality, but usually they will not be clinically affected themselves. Two exceptions for a female with a X linked ... linked myotubular myopathy in a girl with skewed X inactivation journal Neuromuscul Disord volume ... also can clinical myopathy in girls, for the reasons noted above.

  1. Acquired non-inflammatory myopathy

    Acquired non inflammatory myopathy is a neurological condition that occurs most commonly due to hyperthyroidism and high dosage steroid treatment. If affects and weakens the muscles of the shoulder girdle, but is usually asymptomatic. Infrequently, weakness of the muscles on the trunk and proximal limbs can occur. Other causes of this condition are alcoholism, drug induced states, disturbances of vitamin D and calcium metabolism, Addison s disease, among others. ref name Essential Neurology, 2005 Essential Neurology, 2005 ref References reflist Category Neurological disorders Neuroscience stub ...   more details
