title: Interaction between mitochondria and the nucleus.
abstract: The interaction between the mitochondrial and the nuclear genome is in part mediated by proteins (and possibly also RNAs) which are encoded in the nucleus and imported into mitochondria. We are beginning to understand how proteins can penetrate across both mitochondrial membranes and how some of these proteins can regulate the expression of specific mitochondrial genes.
