Most mitochondrial proteins possess N-terminal presequences that are required for targeting and import into the organelle. Upon import, presequences are cleaved off by matrix processing peptidases and subsequently degraded by the peptidasome Cym1/PreP, which also degrades Amyloid-beta peptides (Aβ). Here we find that impaired turnover of presequence peptides results in feedback inhibition of presequence processing enzymes. Moreover, Aβ inhibits degradation of presequence peptides by PreP, resulting in accumulation of mitochondrial preproteins and processing intermediates. Dysfunctional preprotein maturation leads to rapid protein degradation and an imbalanced organellar proteome. Our findings reveal a general mechanism by which Aβ peptide can induce the multiple diverse mitochondrial dysfunctions accompanying Alzheimer's disease.

Antibacterial peptide (AMP) is a crucial component of the innate immune system in most organism, play an important role in host defense processes. Many of these peptides have broad antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative, -positive bacteria and fungi. In the present study, a novel AMP named CpAMP was identified using transcriptome analysis in Chinese horseshoe crab.

The N-terminal transmembrane domain of LPAT1 crosses the inner membrane placing the N terminus in the intermembrane space and the C-terminal enzymatic domain in the stroma. Galactolipids mono- and di-galactosyl diacylglycerol are the major and vital lipids of photosynthetic membranes. They are synthesized by five enzymes hosted at different sub-chloroplast locations.

Protein import into chloroplasts is powered by ATP hydrolysis in the stroma. Establishing the identity and functional mechanism of the stromal ATPase motor that drives import is critical for understanding chloroplast biogenesis. Recently, a complex consisting of Ycf2, FtsHi1, FtsHi2, FtsHi4, FtsHi5, FtsH12, and malate dehydrogenase was shown to be important for chloroplast protein import, and it has been proposed to act as the motor driving protein translocation across the chloroplast envelope into the stroma.

Biallelic variants in are associated with a slowly progressive syndrome characterized by intellectual disability, spinocerebellar ataxia, cognitive decline and psychosis. The pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1 (PITRM1) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme, which digests diverse oligopeptides, including the mitochondrial targeting sequences (MTS) that are cleaved from proteins imported across the inner mitochondrial membrane by the mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP). Mitochondrial peptidases also play a role in the maturation of Frataxin, the protein affected in Friedreich's ataxia.
