Methods to Study the Biogenesis of Membrane Proteins in Yeast Mitochondria

互联网

438
The biogenesis of mitochondrial membrane proteins is an intricate process that relies on the import and submitochondrial sorting of nuclear-encoded preproteins and on the synthesis of mitochondrial translation products in the matrix. Subsequently, these polypeptides need to be inserted into the outer and the inner membranes of the organelle where many of them assemble into multisubunit complexes. In this chapter we provide established protocols to study these different processes experimentally using mitochondria of budding yeast. In particular, methods are described in detail to purify mitochondria, to study mitochondrial protein synthesis, to follow the import of radiolabeled preproteins into isolated mitochondria, and to assess membrane association and the aggregation of mitochondrial proteins by fractionation. These protocols and a list of dos and don’ts shall enable beginners and experienced scientists to address the targeting and assembly of mitochondrial membrane proteins.
