German scientists have mapped the distribution of proteins inside the mitochondria of wine-making yeast.

German scientists recently reported that they have mapped the distribution of proteins inside the brewing yeast mitochondria, the world's first complete high-definition mitochondrial protein distribution map.
mitochondria are the cells that provide energy in cells, known as the "energy factory" of cells.
, mitochondria are involved in regulating cell differentiation, growth, apoptosis, and information transmission.
understanding the distribution of proteins within mitochondria is important for a better understanding of protein function and cellular activity, as well as for exploring the pathogenesis of many diseases.
mitochondria from the outside to the inside can be divided into the outer membrane, membrane gap, inner membrane and substation 4 functional areas.
researchers at the University of Freiburg in Germany recently reported in the British journal Nature Communications that they studied 986 proteins in the mitochondria of wine-making yeast and identified 818 of them in which functional region of the mitochondria.
, they found 206 proteins that were previously thought to be non-existent in mitochondria.
brewing yeast is a model organism commonly used in biological research, and like humans, it belongs to the ethon organisms that have nuclei, and many of the basic physiological processes of the two are related.
researchers say their map of brewing yeast mitochondrial proteins will form the basis for further research into other biological mitochondria, including human mitochondria with more than 1,500 proteins.
