Tossup

A complex in this organelle interacts with the protein frataxin as part of the activity of PMPCA and PMPCB. (10[1])If this organelle’s functionality is degraded, its repair is controlled by PINK1 and Parkin. (10[1])Hexokinase may regulate the formation of a complex in this organelle made of VDAC and ANT proteins. This organelle releases the Smac/DIABLO complex to bind to IAP and inhibit its function. The TIM and TOM complexes (10[2])transport proteins in and out of this (-5[1])organelle. One process in this organelle uses the iron-sulfur enzyme aconitase to isomerize one molecule. The products of that process in this organelle include NADH and FADH2, (10[1])which are used to generate a proton gradient. For 10 points, name this double-membraned organelle that contains the electron transport chain. ■END■ (10[1])
