Read ManuscriptMitochondria are tailored to meet the metabolic and signaling needs of each cell. To explore its molecular composition, we performed a proteomic survey of mitochondria from mouse brain, heart, kidney, and liver and combined the results with existing gene annotations to produce a list of 591 mitochondrial proteins, including 163 proteins not previously associated with the organelle. The protein expression data were largely concordant with large-scale surveys of RNA abundance and both measures indicate tissue specific differences in organelle composition. RNA expression profiles across a wide battery of tissues reveal sub-networks of mitochondrial genes that share function and regulatory mechanisms. We also determined a larger ?neighborhood? of genes whose expression is closely correlated to the mitochondrial genes. The combined analysis identifies specific genes of biological interest, such as candidates for mtDNA repair enzymes, offers new insights into the biogenesis and ancestry of mammalian mitochondria, and provides a framework for understanding the organelle?s contribution to human disease.
