Mitochondrial unfolded protein response
Zemanová, Tereza ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor) ; Mach, Jan (referee)
Mitochondrion is an organelle of the eukaryotic cell responsible for the crucial metabolic processes and the apoptosis. Therefore, it is necessary for the survival of the cell to maintain mitochondrial functionality. Hence, the mitochondria have specific signalling stress-activated pathways for re-establishing its homeostasis. Unfolded protein response is a stress response to the presence of unfolded proteins that includes signalling from the organelle to the nucleus and activating specific genes for chaperones and proteases. This thesis summarizes current knowledge of the mitochondrial UPR, in the matrix as well as in the intermembrane space. It describes different types of the mitochondial chaperones and proteases, the reasons and the impacts of the mitochondrial stress causing the UPR and also briefly covers the problematics od the UPR in the cytosol and the ER.
