Deficiencies in this organelle can cause myopathies like Kearns-Sayre syndrome.
Deficiencies in this organelle can cause myopathies like Kearns-Sayre syndrome. Two complexes of translocases, Tim and Tom, facilitate the movement of proteins through its membranes. Alpha-proteobacteria are believed to be the precursors to this structure, which is a focus of (*) endosymbiosis theory along with the chloroplast. Cell death can be triggered by the release of cytochrome C from cristae in this organelle's inner membrane. Oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA are converted to citric acid in this organelle's matrix. For 10 points, name this cell organelle which has its own DNA, inherited through the mother, and is sometimes known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
