Origin of mitochondria: the endosymbiont hypothesis
The endosymbiont hypothesis suggests that mitochondria have evolved
from anaerobic bacteria which were phagocytosed by eukaryote cells
at the time oxygen appeared on earth,
Similarities between mitochondria and bacteria include the presence of:
• cardiolipin
•transporters
• ribosomes
• circular RNA and DNA
y
should be inhibited by:
y
Therefore mitochondria pprotein synthesis
• TETRACYCLINE
• CHLORAMPHENICOL.
E.g. The extensive use of these drugs can inhibit
1. Bone marrow mitochondrial protein synthesis leading to a
decline in the production of white or red cells.
2. Intestinal epithelial cells causing them to cease dividing.

Cytochrome C - soluble NOT membrane bound
1. 26/104 amino acids residues have been invariant for > 1.5 x 109 years.
2. Met 80 and His 18 - coordinate Fe.
3. 11 residues from number 70 - 80 lining a hydrophobic crevice have
remained virtually unchanged throughout all cytochrome c regardless
of species or even kingdom.
4. A number of invariant arginine and lysine clusters can be found on
the surface of the molecule.
Cytochrome c has a dual function in the cell. Electron transport for ATP
production AND the major cause of most programmed cell death
(apoptosis) is initiated by the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol!
