Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria are the major producers of free radical oxygen species (ROS) as well as the major target of oxidative damage. Defects in the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes can increase ROS production and reduce ROS removal, leading to oxidative modification of proteins, lipids, and DNA. AAA proteases of the inner mitochondrial membrane, paraplegin and AFG3L2, participate in the biogenesis and maintenance...
