ABSTRACT: Mitochondria adapt to cellular stress to ensure cell survival. The stress-regulated mitochondrial peptidase OMA1 orchestrates these adaptive responses, which limit mitochondrial fusion and promote mitochondrial stress signaling and metabolic rewiring. Here, we show that cellular stress adaptation involves OMA1-mediated regulation of mitochondrial protein import and OXPHOS biogenesis. OMA1 cleaves the mitochondrial chaperone DNAJC15 and promotes its degradation by the m-AAA protease AFG3L2. Loss of DNAJC15 reduces the import of OXPHOS-related proteins via the TIMM23-TIMM17A protein translocase, limiting OXPHOS biogenesis under conditions of mitochondrial dysfunction. Non-imported mitochondrial preproteins accumulate at the endoplasmic reticulum and induce an ATF6-related unfolded protein response. Our results demonstrate stress-dependent changes in protein import specificity as part of the OMA1-mediated mitochondrial stress response and highlight the interdependence of proteostasis regulation between different organelles.
