Oxidative Post-Translational Modifications Develop LONP1 Dysfunction in Pressure Overload Heart Failure

Abstract

Oxidative post-translational modifications attenuate mitochondrial AAA+ protease activity, which is involved in impaired electron transport chain protein homeostasis, mitochondrial respiration deficiency, and left ventricular contractile dysfunction. Oxidatively inactivated proteases may be an endogenous target for mitoTEMPO treatment in pressure overload heart failure.
