Drug ? The Biological Problem Mito facts: 1500 proteins own mtDNA encoding only 13 proteins >99% have to be imported Protein import is the crucial mechanism of 90% of the cells energy is provided by mitochondria -More than 300 mitochondrial diseases -Involved in ageing, cancer, heart disease -Key regulators of apoptosis mitochondria biogenesis 1. Components? 2. Mechanisms? 3. Relevance in health and disease? -United Mitochondrial Disease foundation: a child born every 15 min suffers or will develop a mito disease by the age of 5 more than 30% of proteome are membrane proteins About 50% of drug targets in Pharma Industry are membrane proteins Mitochondria are essential for life Functional Complexity Structural Complexity Respiration and ATP Synthesis Synthesis of heme, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides Intracellular homeostasis of inorganic ions 5-15% of total cell protein 20% volume of eukaryotic cell IM is 1/3 of total cell membrane About 1000 different polypeptides (900 in yeast) Only a dozen encoded by mtDNA Protein import is the major mechanism of mitochondria biogenesis Curiosity-driven research: How do proteins find their way to mitochondria?
