项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mitochondria, once viewed as the "simple" powerhouse of the cell, are increasingly recognized to be involved in many different cell biological processes that involve interaction with non-mitochondrial organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane. These interactions take place in part via machinery on the mitochondrial surface that generates and senses protein and lipid signals, which has been an area of focus for us in the context of mitochondrial dynamics (fusion) and changes in energetic in response to extracellular signaling events. Our recent work has uncovered a new role for mitochondria in a specialized form of RNA processing that appears to take place at the interface between the mitochondrial surface and juxtaposed RNA granules. More specifically, we have linked a signaling enzyme on the mitochondrial surface to the production of piRNAs, a third type of RNAi, in an electron-dense structure known as nuage that is similar to P-bodies. Using cell biological, in culture, and animal model approaches, we propose to study how lipid signaling at the mitochondrial surface promotes this newly identified physical and functional interaction between mitochondria and RNA-processing complexes via underlying mechanisms that potentially include kinesin-regulated trafficking of RNAs, processing granules and mitochondria on microtubules. Relevance: This initial story applies to a pathway that is critical for spermatogenesis, has relevance to male infertility, and offers opportunities fr a novel type of male contraceptive. However, other types of RNA recruitment to and processing at the mitochondrial surface are known and represent a broader context in which this newly identified pathway will likely be important, including in connection to mesenchymal stem cells, brain and cardiac function, and cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：线粒体曾经被视为细胞的“简单”动力源，但人们越来越认识到它参与许多不同的细胞生物过程，这些过程涉及与非线粒体细胞器（例如内质网和质膜）的相互作用。这些相互作用部分是通过线粒体表面的机器发生的，该机器产生并感知蛋白质和脂质信号，这一直是我们在线粒体动力学（融合）和响应细胞外信号事件的能量变化的背景下关注的一个领域。我们最近的工作揭示了线粒体在一种特殊形式的 RNA 加工中的新作用，这种作用似乎发生在线粒体表面和并列的 RNA 颗粒之间的界面处。更具体地说，我们将线粒体表面上的信号酶与 piRNA（第三种 RNAi）的产生联系起来，其电子致密结构称为 nuage，类似于 P 体。利用细胞生物学、培养物和动物模型方法，我们建议研究线粒体表面的脂质信号传导如何通过潜在机制（可能包括驱动蛋白调节的 RNA 运输）促进线粒体和 RNA 加工复合物之间新发现的物理和功能相互作用。，处理微管上的颗粒和线粒体。相关性：这个最初的故事适用于对精子发生至关重要的途径，与男性不育症相关，并为新型男性避孕方法提供了机会。然而，其他类型的 RNA 在线粒体表面的募集和处理是已知的，并且代表了更广泛的背景，其中这种新发现的途径可能很重要，包括与间充质干细胞、大脑和心脏功能以及癌症有关。
