Emerging evidence supports the proposition that the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) functions viaorganized multicomplex structures called supercomplexes. However the dynamics and regulation ofsupercomplex assembly have not been fully investigated. In particular, hardly any regulatory protein factorsinvolved in supercomplex assembly have been identified. Our long term goal is to understand the dynamics ofmitochondrial respiratory machinery and its underling regulatory mechanism.
