{"pmid":1,"corr_author":"1","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"The mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system is central to cellular metabolism. It comprises five enzymatic complexes and two mobile electron carriers that work in a mitochondrial respiratory chain. By coupling the oxidation of reducing equivalents coming into mitochondria to the generation and subsequent dissipation of a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, this electron transport chain drives the production of ATP, which is then used as a primary energy carrier in virtually all cellular processes. Minimal perturbations of the respiratory chain activity are linked to diseases; therefore, it is necessary to understand how these complexes are assembled and regulated and how they function. In this Review, we outline the latest assembly models for each individual complex, and we also highlight the recent discoveries indicating that the formation of larger assemblies, known as respiratory supercomplexes, originates from the association of the intermediates of individual complexes. We then discuss how recent cryo-electron microscopy structures have been key to answering open questions on the function of the electron transport chain in mitochondrial respiration and how supercomplexes and other factors, including metabolites, can regulate the activity of the single complexes. When relevant, we discuss how these mechanisms contribute to physiology and outline their deregulation in human diseases."}],"scopus_import":"1","publication_status":"published","month":"02","oa_version":"None","quality_controlled":"1","date_published":"2022-02-01T00:00:00Z","intvolume":" 23","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2024-10-09T21:01:03Z","volume":23,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1471-0072"],"eissn":["1471-0080"]},"article_type":"original","page":"141–161","external_id":{"isi":["000705697100001"],"pmid":["34621061"]},"date_created":"2021-10-24T22:01:35Z","year":"2022","status":"public","isi":1,"publisher":"Springer Nature","type":"journal_article","article_processing_charge":"No","author":[{"orcid":" 0000-0001-5618-3449","first_name":"Irene","id":"3ED6AF16-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Vercellino, Irene","last_name":"Vercellino"},{"first_name":"Leonid A","orcid":"0000-0002-0977-7989","last_name":"Sazanov","id":"338D39FE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Sazanov, Leonid A"}],"_id":"10182","department":[{"_id":"LeSa"}],"title":"The assembly, regulation and function of the mitochondrial respiratory chain","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","doi":"10.1038/s41580-021-00415-0","publication":"Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology","day":"01","citation":{"ama":"Vercellino I, Sazanov LA.
