Coupling factor B affects the morphology of mitochondria.

Grigory I Belogrudov

J Bioenerg Biomembr 42(1):29-35 (2010) PMID 20069349

Ectopic expression of coupling factor B in animal cells resulted in altered mitochondrial morphology. Cells expressing factor B fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) contained fragmented, balloon-shaped or thinned, filamentous mitochondria, terminating at one end with balloon-like structures. Ultrastructural analysis using transmission electron microscopy revealed changes in the organization of mitochondrial cristae in cells expressing factor B-GFP fusion protein.

    The magnitude and sign of the volume change upon protein unfolding are strongly dependent on temperature. This temperature dependence reflects differences in the thermal expansivity of the folded and unfolded states. The factors that determine protein molar expansivities and the larg...

    We identified the YS connection with the primitive intestine and found that it is composed of many blood islands, which correspond to the vessels covered by vitelline and mesenchymal cells. We identified large numbers of hemangioblasts inside the vessels. The mesenchymal layer was thin and composed...

    GAMM and CM patients did not show significant differences for phenotypic risk factors. However, GAMM patients tend to display red hair (10.8% vs 5.5%, P = 0.08) and a poor tanning ability (22.2% vs 13.3%, P = 0.06) at a higher frequency than CM patients.A family history of melanoma was significantly...
