The role of Lon-mediated proteolysis in the dynamics of mitochondrial nucleic acid-protein complexes

Abstract Mitochondrial nucleoids consist of several different groups of proteins, many of which are involved in essential cellular processes such as the replication, repair and transcription of the mitochondrial genome. The eukaryotic, ATP-dependent protease Lon is found within the central nucleoid...
