CRC 944: Physiology and Dynamics of Cellular Microcompartments - WP16: Role of supercomplexes in respiration and import for functional adaptation of mitochondria

Basic data for this project

Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted outside University of Münster

Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2019 - 31/12/2022 | 2nd Funding period

Description

Project P16 (Busch) focuses on the impact of mitochondrial ultra-structure and dynamics on the functionality of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) machinery and mitochondrial performance. Within the project, the group will (a) focus on the link between the heterogene-ous distribution of OXPHOS complexes to variations of the proton motive force, and (b) dis-sect the connection between OXPHOS organization and mitochondrial performance by ma-nipulating the mitochondrial ultrastructure, altering mitochondrial dynamics, and following quality control mechanisms such as mitophagy.
