Intra-organ cell specific mitochondrial quantitative interactomics.

ABSTRACT: Almost every organ consists of many cell types, each with its unique functions. Proteomes of these cell types are thus unique too. But it is reasonable to assume that interactome (inter and intra molecular interactions of proteins) are also distinct since protein interactions are what ultimately carry out the function. Podocytes and tubules are two cell types within kidney with vastly different functions: podocytes envelop the blood vessels in the glomerulus and act as filters while tubules are located downstream of the glomerulus and are responsible for reabsorption of important nutrients. It has been long known that for tubules mitochondria plays an important role as they require a lot of energy to carry out their functions. In podocytes, however, it has been assumed that mitochondria mi
