Elucidating the Localization and Interactome of Mitochondrial Microproteins
摘要
A large number of novel microproteins discovered to date are nuclear encoded, mitochondrial proteins, pointing to their widespread roles in metabolic regulation. In this chapter, we provide a workflow of how to verify if a candidate microprotein is localized to the mitochondria, its submitochondrial localization (i.e., outer, inner membrane, or matrix) and how to determine its interactome in order to elucidate its molecular function.
