“…Of course, this mechanism would only control a fraction of the total complement of mitochondrial proteins, thereby leading to altered organelle composition, and possible dysfunction. As is often the case in the existence of dysfunctional mitochondria, such as in mitochondrial disease, a compensatory upregulation of mitochondrial content can be evident (21,39,46), as our data suggest. To fulfill our second purpose, we analyzed the effects of contractile activity on the components identified to be required for the mTORC1 transcriptional complex, including PGC-1␣, raptor, phospho-mTOR (Ser 2448 ), and YY1.…”
