Abstract:
In mitochondria, copper is a Janus-faced trace element. While it is the essential cofactor of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, a surplus of copper can be highly detrimental to these organelles. On the one hand, mitochondria are strictly dependent on adequate copper supply for proper respiratory function, and the molecular mechanisms for metalation of the cytochrome c oxidase have been largely characterized. On the other hand, copper overload impairs mitochondria and uncertainties exist co...     »
