Research Abstract
It has been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction triggers the onset of aging and lifestyle-related diseases. However, a simple and reproducible method to evaluate mitochondrial dysfunction such as decreased ATP synthesis has not been found. In this study, we focused on LONP1, a protease localized in the mitochondrial matrix, and found that LONP1 functions in a manner dependent on ATP hydrolysis and that its dysfunction causes the accumulation of protein aggregates in the mitochondrial matrix. This indicates that the accumulation of protein aggregates may be an indicator of abnormal mitochondrial function accompanied by a decrease in the amount of ATP in the mitochondrial matrix.
