Mitochondrial-derived vesicles retain membrane potential and contain a functional ATP synthase.
Description
•
Selective mitochondrial proteins are loaded onto mitochondrial‐derived vesicles (MDVs).
•
MDVs have a membrane potential and carry a functional F1F0 ATP synthase complex with the capability to produce ATP.
•
MDVs acquire mitochondrial functions and may possibly transfer this ability from one organelle to the other.
•
MDVs enable the export of proteins from the mitochondria into the cellular environment.
