Question

A complex in this organelle interacts with the protein frataxin as part of the activity of PMPCA and PMPCB. If this organelle’s functionality is degraded, its repair is controlled by PINK1 and Parkin. (10[1])Hexokinase may regulate the formation of a complex in this organelle made of VDAC and ANT proteins. This organelle releases the Smac/DIABLO complex to bind to IAP and inhibit its function. (10[1])The TIM and TOM complexes (10[1])transport proteins in and out of this organelle. One process in this organelle uses the iron-sulfur enzyme aconitase to isomerize one molecule. (-5[1])The products of that process in this organelle include NADH and FADH2, (10[1])which are used to generate a proton (10[1])gradient. (10[1])For 10 points, name this double-membraned organelle that contains the electron transport chain. ■END■ (10[2])
