Peripheral mitochondrial inner membrane protein, Mss2p, required for export of the mitochondrially coded Cox2p C tail in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract

Cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 (Cox2p) is synthesized on the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane, and its N- and C-terminal domains are exported across the inner membrane by distinct mechanisms. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear gene MSS2 was previously shown to be necessary for Cox2p accumulation. We have used pulse-labeling studies and the expression of the ARG8(m) reporter at the COX2 locus in an mss2 mutant to demonstrate that Mss2p is not required for Cox2p synthesis but rather for its accumulation. Mutational inactivation of the proteolytic function of the matrix-localized Yta10p (Afg3p) AAA-protease partially stabilizes Cox2p in an mss2 mutant but does not restore assembly of cytochrome oxidase. In the absence of Mss2p, the Cox2p N terminus is exported, but Cox2p C-terminal export and assembly of Cox2p into cytochrome oxidase is blocked. Epitope-tagged Mss2p is tightly, but peripherally, associated with the inner membrane and protected by it from externally added proteases. Taken together, these data indicate that Mss2p plays a role in recognizing the Cox2p C tail in the matrix and promoting its export.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
